Goodwill in the NHS is a one-way street

The NHS runs on goodwill. Every day thousands of nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers work extra hours, skip breaks and go the extra mile to keep the health service running. In return, you may receive a ‘thank you’ from your manager or expressions of gratitude from patients, but rarely will you see any extra in your pay packet.
