This is utterly unacceptable and the nursing community will not stand for it. Mary Seacole is an inspirational figure for nurses from all backgrounds and her statue acts as a stark reminder that racism and social injustice have no place in our society.

Much of the contents Lord Darzi’s Independent investigation of the NHS in England will sadly come as no surprise to our members. The NHS is in need of repair. This can’t happen without investment in nursing.

Huge congratulations to our RCN London Rising Stars of 2024. Colleagues and patients are thrilled to have you in the capital. Thank you for all do. #RCNBHM2024

The evidence is crystal clear. The financial burden of training is deterring so many would-be nurses into our profession when we need them most. The Govt needs to take decisive action now and undo years of terrible decisions on nursing education.

Today’s Budget made some important strides in fixing some of the critical issues facing the NHS. More beds, new scanners, and investment in hospital infrastructure are long overdue. But, it’s not gone unnoticed that there was no new investment in nursing.

Congratulations to Jennifer Caguioa on her election to the London seat on RCN Council. I know Jennifer will work tirelessly on behalf of RCN London members. And huge congratulations to Bejoy Sebastian and Prof Alison Leary 💙#ProtectNurse on their election as RCN President and Deputy President.

Happy #NursingSupportWorkersDay! A huge thank you to all the incredible nursing support workers across London who are vital to health and care in the capital. We celebrate you and the importance of your role in the nursing team.
