Quote from Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN General Secretary & Chief Executive, that says: "Nursing is a global family, and Alex Pretti’s death in such violent circumstances will be felt deeply. Those who join our profession do so because they are compassionate, and driven by an unrivalled commitment to public service."
We send our support to Alex Pretti's family and loved ones, and the global nursing community which has lost a devoted member. No matter where they are in the world, they - and the people they serve - deserve to be safe, both at work and in their communities.

Quote from Carmel O'Boyle reads: My thoughts are with everyone in my hometown of Liverpool and all those who were involved in the response to yesterday's horrifying incident. Only two weeks since our city welcomed us to Congress, the joy we felt there will be found again. Liverpool is a strong community and will stand together, as always.
We are deeply shocked and saddened by the incident in Liverpool yesterday. Our thanks are with all those involved in the response.
