As 2025 nears, I’m reflecting on how stepping into a non-clinical digital role showed me how deeply my identity as a nurse is rooted. It’s more than a job—it’s who I am. Has anyone else stepped into a non-clinical role and it not been for them?

Despite the ⬆️ conversation around Digital Nursing, I cannot help but feel frustrated at the pace. We need to increase Digital Nursing Leadership into all health and care organisations NOW! Not just secondary care but primary care, pre hospital, public health & strategic bodies inc government.

#NurseSky at what stage does banding not become important? As a band 7 becoming a band 8a is really important to me, however people in very senior roles say banding isn't important. What are your thoughts?
