The Royal College of Nursing has launched a two-week survey of its members to gather views on two pay offers covering the 2024/25 and 2025/26 pay rounds.
The consultative ballot opened at noon on today and will close at noon on February 4.
The RCN and other trade unions have been in negotiations with Manx Care over pay, following offers made in December 2025.
Pay Offers
In December 2025, Manx Care offered:
- 2024/25: A 1% offer in addition to the 4% already imposed, bringing the total offer up to 5%.
- 2025/26: A 1% offer in addition to the 2% already offered, bringing the total offer up to 3%.
Simon Browes, Regional Director for the RCN in the North West, said: “We urge as many members as possible to have their say as this is the only way we can express the membership’s voice to Manx Care and the Isle of Man Government, about how valued the nursing workforce are feeling.
He continued: “A fair pay rise would demonstrate that the Manx government are investing in not only the current nursing workforce, but the sustainable future of nursing and safe patient care on the Isle of Man.”
“We are not recommending how members should vote but we are asking that they do vote. It is up to members whether they think the offer is acceptable, or not.”
