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.

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

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

@rcn.org.uk Congress attendees discuss and share their experiences of having to pay hundreds or thousands of pounds for their student education.
Basically they are paying to work for free!
This has to change

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

Discussed @rcn.org.uk Congress today. My view for what it’s worth. Surely the only people who are accountable is the Government. Underfunded health and social care and poor nurses pay leading to staff shortages. So let’s hold them to account for this unacceptable situation
