How short our memories are. Just a few years ago, nurses carried this country through a pandemic, and now they're suffering a 55% surge in racist abuse. To every nurse: London stands with you. You are loved and valued, and always will be.

Important update in the #ProtectNurse campaign. RCN members voted, at congress 2022, to lobby legislators and make Nurse a protected title in UK law. Until then, anyone can call themselves a nurse. The proposed bill would be significant progress. Thank you @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social
