Quality improvement isn’t extra work- it’s take time for sure, and this should be integrated into our working hours— but surely it’s part of our responsibility in healthcare. We all have a duty to notice what’s not working, ask why, and make it better—for patients, for staff, for the system. #RCN25

New data shows that A&E waits for those in a mental health crisis have risen substantially. Additionally, the mental health workforce has not grown enough to keep up with demand for services. Hear from members at #RCN25 on how this impacts them and those they care for. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

#RCN25 Congress once again proving the power of connection! So special to reunite with peers from #NursingNow — including one I’ve known for over five years but met in person for the first time today. Nursing is truly a global community, and its strength lies in our shared passion and purpose.

Congress, it’s time we changed that, it’s time to get loud. We need urgent, long-term investment. We need pay parity. We need training and progression routes. And most of all — we need to el-ivate the voice of the social care workforce. #RCN25 #LetsGetLoud #SocialCare

Improve social care isn’t just an efficiency issue! This is about people. Patients who decondition while waiting for discharge. Families in distress. Nurses caught between impossible decisions. And a social care workforce that remains underpaid, under-recognised, and overlooked. #RCN25

Healthcare workers in war zones face unimaginable horror—treating the wounded in bombed communities, risking their lives with every shift. Many are injured, abducted, or killed. They deserve protection, not peril. Healthcare is not a target. #RCN25 #HealthcareforAll

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

The care worker visa ban is a short-sighted move with long-term consequences. It risks collapsing an already fragile sector, separating families, and leaving thousands without essential care. This isn’t just immigration policy—it’s a threat to dignity, care, and compassion. #RCN25

#Nurses don’t just care for individuals—we care about systems, safety & justice! When we campaign, we speak up not just for ourselves, but for our patients, our colleagues & the future of our health service. Change doesn’t happen by chance. It happens because people like us refuse to give up #RCN25

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

To protect the future of the NHS and the health of our nation, there must be investment in nursing. Fair pay, safe staffing levels, and respect for our profession are not optional—they are essential. We are tired, undervalued, but we are not invisible. Listen to us. Support us. Act now. #RCN25

030

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Year after year, we have been asked to do more with less. We face chronic understaffing, unsafe working conditions, and pay that fails to reflect the skill, dedication, and responsibility our profession demands. This is not sustainable. It is not safe. And it is not fair. #RCN25

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Health tourism is rising as UK patients seek faster or cheaper care abroad—but it comes with risks. Complications often land back on the NHS, stretching services. We must tackle wait times at home so this isn’t a desperate choice, but an informed one. #RCN25

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, yet many Roma and Traveller communities continue to face barriers that others do not—discrimination, lack of trust, and systemic exclusion. Everyone deserves safe, respectful care, no matter where they come from or how they live. #RCN25

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

My only concern with process agreement for accountability is by putting formal systems in place to manage this, we risk inadvertently normalising it. There is a fine line between enabling safe management and creating a sense of acceptance around practices that should, in fact, remain unacceptable.

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

I believe that clear processes and a shared understanding of accountability are vital to ensuring safety for both patients and staff. However, we must tread carefully—by putting formal systems in place to manage these situations, we risk inadvertently normalising them. #RCN25

Charlotte Hall RN @charlottehallrn.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Patients waiting in ambulances aren’t in a corridor — but they’re still caught in the same crisis. Who’s accountable for their care? Delays blur responsibility, but patients deserve clear, safe, and dignified care at every stage. #RCN25 #STOPCorridorCare #PatientSafety
