The thing about people who hate is that they're living sad lives. Imagine how poor your life must be if all you have is hate rather than enjoying the beauty of nature and the richness of a diverse humanity? No amount of money can compensate for that. ♥️

I'm about to head home from an amazing #RCN25. I absolutely love Congress but this year with NHS job cuts I didn't realise how much I needed Congress. Thank you to all the incredible people I've met. U have reminded me of my value. @rcndorset.bsky.social @rcnsouthwest.bsky.social @rcn.org.uk

Great to receive unanimous support for my item on investing in social care @rcn.org.uk Congress. Investing in social care is value for money, better for society but most importantly better for patients. So @kierstarmerpm.bsky.social don’t delay invest today ….. simple #RCN25

If we don’t invest in #LearningDisability Nurses - people will die! Our most vulnerable will go without the specialised care they need and deserve! Healthcare is a basic human right TO ALL PEOPLE! #RCN25

Powerful hearing international nurses and nursing support workers responding to Kier Statmer at RCN Congress. His words hurt. His anti-migrant rhetoric has been labeled a 'betrayal'. We called, they came. Thank you to all our international colleagues. #RCN25

This has been a concern for a long time&we know there needs to be investment. The UK Governments know this - how can we make them listen ? #RCN25

I spoke up about a subject close to my heart. It’s about more than visas. What is next? Are they going to look at those living in the U.K. with settled status? An emotive subject but one that needs to happen in light of the released white paper earlier this week. #RCN25

Congress debated an emergency item on the proposed care workers' visa ban this morning. Gloucestershire branch's Ewout Jackson spoke passionately on the topic, having moved here from the Netherlands 15 years ago. The item was passed with overwhelming support shown for international colleagues.

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

Health tourism occurs for many reasons. But everyone needs to receive appropriate follow-up care when they come back. Any private care received anywhere should be legally required to be communicated to GPs directly by the providing company so this can be managed safely

Listening to an interesting discussion around the use of #AI in nurse education. AI can proof a valuable tool in nursing education if done right. It needs managing well and there is a need to learn to use it well. Nurses can not be replaced but AI can be a good sidekick. #RCN25

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

A resolution brought to the floor around patients care responsibilities whilst having to wait in ambulances. Are we using ambulances as a way of extending our corridors? Who is accountable? Who is providing the care? So many questions #rcn25 @rcn.org.uk

Nurses are often the first to spot signs of human trafficking — but are we equipped to act? It’s time to move beyond awareness and embed real training and pathways for intervention. Safeguarding alone isn’t enough. #RCN25

Professor Nicola Ranger, General Secretary & Chief Executive, is delivering her keynote address to thousands of members at #RCN25 today. She will tell our internationally educated members what the RCN is demanding the UK government do to properly value their contribution to health and care services.
A quote card from Nicola Ranger: Thank you for bringing your skills to this country.  I’m telling [the UK government]: Give people the security, respect and stability they need. Stop the game playing.
