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.

Patients being treated in corridors is widespread, but it must not be normalised. If you're having to deliver care in inappropriate settings, raising a concern with your employer will help protect you and your patients. Learn more: buff.ly/4jfYJSj

Today the UK government recommended a pay increase of 2.8% for nursing staff in 2025/26, as little as £2 extra a day. This is deeply offensive, detrimental to patients & contradictory to hopes of rebuilding the NHS. We are calling for direct negotiations on pay - our full response: bit.ly/49Dn28s

Quote from Professor Nicola Ranger reads: We pulled out of the PRB process, alongside other unions, because it is not the route to address the current crisis. That has been demonstrated today. Fair pay must be matched by structural reform. Let’s open direct talks now and avoid further escalation to disputes and ballots – I have said that directly to government today.

Investment in nursing is key to achieving the Prime Minister's plan to cut NHS waiting lists. His Plan for Change needs a plan to turn our profession around. Read our response to today's speech from the Prime Minister: bit.ly/3ZkEmKI

Quote card from Patricia Marquis, Executive Director of RCN England which says: For patients to feel that the NHS is improving over the next five years, the government must prioritise fixing the crisis in nursing. A fairly paid and safely staffed nursing workforce would transform care and positively impact the lives of millions.
