ALT The prime minister’s mission to repair the NHS is the right one and today’s report demonstrates why that task must start now. - Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN General Secretary & Chief Executive
ALT Quote from Professor Nicola Ranger reads: This abhorrent display of racism-fuelled vandalism has no place in our society. Mary Seacole is a nursing icon whose dedication to the care of others continues to inspire our profession today. This act of sabotage is unacceptable, and the nursing community will not stand for it. As the first statue of a named black woman in the UK, it symbolises not only Mary’s immense contribution to nursing but also the contribution of people from minoritised ethnic communities. The RCN actively supported the campaign to build the statue at St. Thomas’ Hospital and we will support its restoration. As an anti-racist organisation, we will tackle racism wherever it exists and we’re firmly committed to championing the principles the statute embodies, both in nursing and wider society..
ALT Your pay. Your say. Vote today on NHS pay in England. Boxes on the left hand side with "accept" and "reject" as the two options.
ALT "All professional groups deserve a clear route to fair pay restoration – making up for a very serious loss of earnings in the last 15 years. We do not begrudge doctors their pay rise. We work together closely, in the interests of our patients. What we ask for is the same fair treatment from government. Our members will vote on whether they see today’s announcement as enough of a start on our journey." - Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN General Secretary & Chief Executive
ALT Professor Nicola Ranger, Acting General Secretary and Chief Executive: "I want to see action from the new government - bold initiatives that make an impact on nursing within its first 100 days - starting from today, the 76th birthday of the NHS."
