Powerful hearing international nurses and nursing support workers responding to Kier Statmer at RCN Congress. His words hurt. His anti-migrant rhetoric has been labeled a 'betrayal'. We called, they came. Thank you to all our international colleagues. #RCN25

Tens of thousands of migrant nurses are ready to quit working in the UK due to hostile immigration rules and poor pay, according to a new report. A survey of 3,000 nurses by the Royal College of Nursing revealed that 42% are planning to leave. nursingtimes.net/workforce/immi…

The RCN will be asking 345,000 nursing staff members if the 3.6% pay award for 2025-26 is enough, as it launches its consultation on 9 June. The union said the vote will be crucial in deciding next steps, which could include a ballot for strike action. rcni.com/nursing-standa…

Thousands of nurses are leaving the UK register much earlier than planned because of poor working conditions, a report has found. The NMC's latest leavers' survey found a mix of external pressure and negative personal experiences was pushing nursing staff to leave early.

The Oliver McGowan Code of Practice is a vital step for improving care for people with a learning disability and autistic people. Oliver's story reminds us why this is so important. Thank you Paula McGowan OBE for your commitment and dedication to making this happen.

San Francisco Pride was one of the most inspiring and heartwarming celebration I’ve experienced in a while. Our country needs this now more than ever.
