Siobhan Aston

I'm Siobhan, a Rehabilitation Nurse and NHS activist based in Scotland. I've worked in the NHS for around a decade and have been involved in grassroots campaigning since 2020 when I joined NHS Workers Say No. Taking part in Protests and Demos helped me realise the importance of being active within the Trade Union movement. I became an active member within the RCN and in 2024 I began training to become a Trade Union Rep.

The NHS is one of the greatest achievements of our society. Corridor Care, Ward Closures, Short Staffing and pay that has fallen well below inflation are all contributing to the demise of once the most enviable health system in the world. I believe it deserves to be defended with the same passion and determination with which it was built — the promise given was "From the cradle to the grave" and I believe that the people of the UK will fight to prevent that promise ever being broken.
