On International Workers Memorial Day I’m thinking about all the nursing staff we’ve lost while they were caring for others, and the work we have left to ensure all nursing staff have the protection they need. #IWMD24
Lots of ground covered in my latest blog; from this week’s anti-racism summit to next month’s local elections, and much more. Read below 👇

Excited and inspired to be joining today's anti-racism summit at the RCN. Ensuring the RCN becomes an anti-racist organisation is an absolute priority, and today will be a big step forward to developing a strategy to deliver this.
#StephenLawrenceDay is always a solemn day. His murder and the subsequent findings of the Macpherson Report were a watershed moment for the fight against racism in the UK. Today and all days, let's commit to challenging racism wherever we find it.

The right to strike must be defended. I welcome Supreme Court ruling which protects workers from being penalised for taking strike action, but the right to strike is still under threat from this govt. Email your MP to demand they protect your rights: bit.ly/3ti36Hq

I'd like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dame Ruth May, the CNO of England, on her retirement. Her exemplary leadership during challenging times has inspired all of us. I also thank her for her unwavering commitment to working with the RCN over the past 5 years.

I’m already looking forward to this year’s #NursesDay! It’s always a pleasure to celebrate our incredible profession with all of you, and this year we’ll be using the day to demand nursing gets the recognition it deserves. Get involved 👇

With voting on the Rwanda bill scheduled in Parliament today, we reiterate that it represents a backwards step in asylum and human rights policy and once more call upon the UK government to abandon the bill in its entirety. Read our full briefing: bit.ly/3xDyJgt

Nursing is not a calling. Or a vocation. Or ‘women’s work’. We are a profession; we are experts; we are leaders. In our submission to the UK government's consultation, all we are asking for is proper recognition and fair treatment. Read the full story 👇

Today I want to #TalkAboutFlex. A joint NHS trade unions campaign which aims to increase awareness of your rights when it comes to flexible working. I urge you all to start a conversation today, find out more here: talkaboutflex.org
At every event I attend, members from all settings tell me the same thing, that there aren't enough of you to deliver the care you want to. Tell us by 11pm today what staffing levels were like on your last shift so that we can campaign for change. surveys.rcn.org.uk/s/EZKDZN/
I was thrilled to be invited to the NHS’s first Black matron Daphne Steele’s Blue Plaque unveiling. An incredible nurse, setting new standards for her time. This #RCNMagazine article gives a wonderful account of her achievements. #WomensHistoryMonth rcn.org.uk/magazines/Hist…
As #WomensHistoryMonth draws to a close, we’re celebrating the contributions of influential nursing staff. Read how nurse Vicky’s clinics have reduced hysteroscopy waiting times from 40 to 14 days. #RCNMagazine rcn.org.uk/magazines/Clin…
As well as my role as RCN President, I’m a nurse lecturer at London Southbank University so student nurses are close to my heart. This piece from #RCNMagazine explores a new social care placement pilot for nursing students in residential care homes. rcn.org.uk/magazines/Care…
Great to see @patcullen9 across the media today adding the nursing voice to new findings from @TheKingsFund on NHS public dissatisfaction. Every day nursing staff strive to deliver the best possible care, but put simply, the government has set us up to fail. We need action now.

What were staffing levels like on your last shift? You still have time to complete @theRCN’s short survey to help us continue the fight for better staffing levels and patient care. Take the survey here: bit.ly/48GNFXM
Our survey on @theRCN's new EDI strategy closed yesterday. Thanks to all who took part. I know we've received feedback on the survey, something we'll be sure to review and address moving forward. Member events start today, another key step in the development of this strategy.
This is why we must have #FairPayForNursing for ALL nursing staff and why the #EthnicityPayGap must be addressed. We also need to ensure that internationally trained nursing staff are treated with the kindness and respect we all deserve.

Great to be marking #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek. We'll always champion neurodiverse members, and I'm delighted as part of the ongoing development of our equity, diversity, and inclusion strategy to have held our first member-led workshop with neurodiverse members.
This is what happens when ministers spend over a decade attacking nurse pay. When nursing pay is undermined, so is patient care. The UK government must now commit to a substantial pay rise for every member of nursing staff. Read more: bit.ly/43vHwwx

This exodus of overseas-trained nurses is due to the significant erosion of nursing pay. With domestic recruitment also collapsing, the government must act now to address the workforce crisis and attract and retain talent to the profession from both home and abroad.

Nursing staff agree with NHS leaders; we need equality, diversity and inclusion to improve NHS culture and patient care. Ministers on a culture war crusade have no business lecturing NHS staff on what their services need.
Healthcare leaders have spoken. Our latest briefing captures the views of over 560 of our members on the importance of tackling inequality – both within the NHS workforce and in its services: nhsconfed.org/publications/i…
