Bridgend College RCN King's cadets received their certificates this week. Great work all. #futurenurses

Today we hosted students from Mulberry Academy Trust at our HQ in London. During their time with us they learnt IPC via correct handwashing, BLS, received a library tour, gave us their thoughts on what a nurse does and had a chance to question RCN staff on all things nursing.

Do you reckon the staff feel safe? 🤦‍♂️

And have a quiet word with the NMC about numeracy and literacy standards👍

If it’s in a corridor it’s not care. It’s a forced expedient on staff who are desperately struggling to avoid harm. A struggle that inevitably leads to harm all the same. Demoralising and dehumanising for all concerned.

👍🙏🤞🪂

We've written to the Health Secretary Wes Streeting MP, and NHS England calling for an end to treating patients in unsafe spaces.

What Nicola says 👇

As usual🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The missing link here is the nursing workforce.

Nursing is crucial to a better future for health and social care, but there are tens of thousands of vacancies across every part of the system and every region in England.

Flu: Fewer jabs blamed for NHS sickness spike Fewer elderly people and healthcare workers have had their jabs, leading to a concerning rise in cases.
