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.

Labour's new immigration plans are pandering of the worst kind and no way to treat overseas nursing staff who have come to the UK to care for patients.
Without their dedication and expert care, our health system would cease to function.
Jan Shortt from the National Pensioners Convention is now speaking about the issues retired people face in the UK — including the government’s attacks on welfare — and the need for a strong voice. ✊
