We send our support to Alex Pretti's family and loved ones, and the global nursing community which has lost a devoted member. No matter where they are in the world, they - and the people they serve - deserve to be safe, both at work and in their communities.

Important thread on planned changes to the indefinite Leave to Remain system - take action by writing to your MP to demand these changes are scrapped ⬇️
