Ministers say they want to protect the 'privacy, dignity and safety' of patients. But as RCN Chief Nursing Officer Nicola Ranger pointed out this morning, nursing staff are already caring for people in corridors and even store cupboards. Investment is what patients need.
Nurses in England took an average of one week off sick for stress last year, data shows dlvr.it/T6177x
As the Rwanda Bill becomes law, the Royal College of Nursing will continue to oppose the government’s approach to asylum on medical, ethical and humanitarian grounds.
…🧐Fact check ❌50k more nurses? 1000s of nursing vacancies unfilled. ❌Waiting lists down 5 months in a row? Yet higher than when the pledge was made. ❌Pay disputes settled? Yet nursing left out in the cold. Hardly a year to be proud of - nursing & patients deserve better.

The health and wellbeing of a nation is of vital importance, but today the prime minister chose to play politics. Punitive measures will do nothing to fix the root causes of long-term sickness, including amongst our profession.
🚨 More than a year since the pledge was made to cut waiting lists, millions are still suffering in pain. Rather than patting itself on the back, government must produce a fair pay offer for nursing to stablise the workforce and bring down lists. More: bit.ly/3Q2nsMT
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
RCN Chief Nurse Professor Ranger reflects on the recent International Council of Nurses 2024 International Workforce Forum, and on RCN work to address the nursing workforce crisis here in the UK in her latest blog: bit.ly/3IIExY1
Having enough staff is intrinsically linked to quick, safe and effective care. But services are gripped by shortages and the number of patients waiting over 18 months for treatment has increased. #FairPayForNursing will tackle staff shortages and bring waiting lists down.
It's quite something when a government appears to celebrate tearing apart the families of international care workers. Only investment in services will deliver for patients, not anti-migrant politics.
It's quite something when a government appears to celebrate tearing apart the families of international care workers. Only investment in services will deliver for patients, not anti-migrant politics.
Investing in nursing is a political choice. Tax cuts won't bring down waiting lists or solve our workforce crisis. This was the wrong Budget for the wrong moment. Nursing deserved better. #Budget2024 #FairPayForNursing
It's no wonder our members don't feel listened to by the Prime Minister – when a former health worker tells him about the current state of the NHS he laughs in their face and walks away. Patients and staff deserve better then this.

"When many nurses already work additional full days to make ends meet financially, extra capacity is urgently required." @theRCN responds to Labour’s plan to cut waiting lists by increasing out-of-hours work. bit.ly/46mDtDp

We've written to the Home Secretary and Health Secretary to condemn their plans to increase costs for health workers and nursing students coming to the UK from overseas. Additional levies are not only unjust but divisive and short-sighted. rcn.org.uk/magazines/News…

Nurses reporting 'suicidal thoughts has increased by 98% over the first 10 months of this year'. RCN Interim head of nursing practice @SWJ_1 adds that "in October 2022 we had one caller a week disclosing suicidal thoughts. But, in 2023 it works out as almost one a day."

*Noisy post alert* Our members are in fine voice at the picket line at Nobles Hospital. Members are still in dispute over their pay from 2021/22 & 2022/23. We are calling upon the the @iomdhsc to negotiate. Paying fairly helps recruit & retain #SafeStaffingSavesLives

Covid-19 has killed 229,000 Britons, but the headline figures hide a far more complex story. I spent the summer visiting bereaved families to hear their stories. This article is free to read. telegraph.co.uk/global-health/… @SimonTownsley
Tonight from 7pm on @BBCOne @BBCTheOneShow @helenwhyley Director @RCNWales will be featured speaking about internationally recruited nurses - tune in!
Applications for nursing courses are down, and the latest figures show staffing levels remain in crisis - over 40,000 vacancies in the NHS in England alone. This cannot go on. The government must urgently provide details for how the workforce plan will be delivered.
Nurse vacancies in the NHS across England have risen once again after showing signs of falling from last year’s peak. The number of vacant nursing positions in the NHS increased by 3,243 between March and June of this year – taking the total to 43,339. bit.ly/3YKCwC9
The ongoing cost of living crisis means that households across the UK are struggling to afford basic essentials, we've joined others to raise concerns over the impact on health outcomes and to call on the UK government to commit to an Essentials Guarantee. rcn.org.uk/magazines/News…
The women’s World Cup was thrilling, inspiring and a credit to sports women worldwide. Young people have role models to look to. The Lionesses are an absolute credit as is their manager. Congratulations to Spain.
Our nursing workforce feels the impact of COVID all year round, not just in winter. For the latest information about our involvement in the govt inquiry into the pandemic & how you can contribute, head to our web page. rcn.org.uk/Get-Help/Legal…
Should we be worried about Covid this winter? bbc.in/3qqR6SF
Clearing data from UCAS shows that acceptances onto nursing courses are down 13% across the UK. The UK government has ‘stumbled at the first hurdle’ in fulfilling student recruitment promises set out in its NHS workforce plan in England. rcn.org.uk/magazines/News…
