UNISON

Getting things done

UNISON is the largest union in the NHS and this gives us a unique opportunity to get our members voices heard right at the heart of government.

Giving everyone a say

UNISON is an organisation made up of members and run by members and we make sure that each one of them has a say in how the union is run.

Making the NHS a better place for patients and staff

In addition to its role of representing members in the workplace, UNISON is an effective campaigning organisation when our members and the union work together to make a real difference.
