Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your ongoing support. The Parliament petition for a National NHS Railcard is now live, and we’ve already passed 700 signatures in the first 2 days. But we need thousands more to get a government response — and I can’t do this alone.

I’ve been contacting NHS hospitals across the UK, posting in Facebook groups, and tweeting daily. My own management team and nursing workforce are now supporting the campaign and helping me share it internally and externally.

But we still need more Trusts, more staff, and more voices.

If you work in a hospital, and feel comfortable doing so, please consider using internal channels like:

Staff forums
WhatsApp or rota groups
Email newsletters (if allowed)
Local union reps or wellbeing leads
Every small action helps spread the word.

We deserve the same commuting support as police, students, and veterans. Let’s keep pushing.

With huge thanks,
Alicia Arias
