It's been a great week ☺️ #RCN25

This has been a concern for a long time&we know there needs to be investment. The UK Governments know this - how can we make them listen ? #RCN25

It's time to change the culture of violence in our NHS

Please share and support us in ending violence against our nations Nurses

#rcn25 @rcn.org.uk @rcnlibraries.bsky.social

Hearing about the experiences of nurses working in conflict areas -120beds-700 patients, only 1 operating theatre
Mass casualties 70 -100 with major traumatic injuries,up to 50% children,only 3 units of blood.So sad to hear this.Credit to those working there under such horrific conditions #RCN25

@rcn.org.uk great to get some of our RCN Scotland members together for a group photo, sorry to those that missed it. Delighted to have a good representation from Scotland& to meet so many new faces #RCN25

Great to hear the @rcn.org.uk verbalising the importance of including all activists in the future of the college.

There is a lot of untapped potential out there that the college needs to bring in to the fold that would strengthen our position.

Every activist matters!

A quote card from Nicola Ranger: Thank you for bringing your skills to this country. I’m telling [the UK government]: Give people the security, respect and stability they need. Stop the game playing.

Professor Nicola Ranger, General Secretary & Chief Executive, is delivering her keynote address to thousands of members at #RCN25 today. She will tell our internationally educated members what the RCN is demanding the UK government do to properly value their contribution to health and care services.

Nurses set to strike this summer if government continues to 'insult profession' The Labour Government faces a 'summer of discontent' as the boss of the Royal College of Nursing union will tell ministers nurses need a 'a significant pay rise'

Nurses give the Government a stark warning.

What a start to Congress! #RCN25

Hospital corridor with gurneys

In recent decades we’ve lost too many general and acute hospital beds in the UK, without creating sufficient alternative capacity outside hospital.

This has resulted in entirely predictable risks and harms, writes @mancunianmedic.bsky.social
