#CPR saves lives. Looking out window, guy collapses. Run to see if I can help, no signs of life, start CPR. He left in ambulance, sitting up and talking. Iโve only practiced on a doll before, today it made a difference. Everyone should know how to #savealife

People who see the culture change & reform thatโs needed in organisations & systems get a hard time; they are often seen as awkward, unmanageable, dangerous, troublemakers. Itโs the opposite. The really dangerous people are those who bolster status quo. Time for a rebel alliance!
Student nurses about to register are critical to ensuring waiting lists come down and patients get the care that they need
Roles for our newly qualified nurses should never be in scope for cost improvement programmes when we know patients are dying waiting for care.ย #RCN24
Here is my emergency agenda item for the Greater Manchester branch. Lets get our voices heard! #RCN24

Political influencing- promoting the nursing agenda in the election year!
Use your influence at the ballot box! Demand your MP to take action on @theRCN manifesto to earn your vote!
Silence is not safe, Letโs get Loud!!

'Multiple reviews highlight time and time again that harm would have been prevented if concerns that had been raised had been listened to and acted on,' @SamSpence01 told #RCN24.
Read about the resolution on more protection for nurses raising concerns:

So @RCN24 is up and running, great to be back as a voting member and getting such an important debate to the floor
Nursing staff need more support to raise concerns and it was great to see so many people share there views!

An issue very close to my heart! @SamSpence01 expertly reminding us of the amount of concerns we face daily and the difficulties HCPs face speaking up. Culture change is needed! #rcn24 @RCNStudents @RCNActivism
The agenda is out for #RCN24 so many great items on the agenda and Iโm looking forward to some great debates rcn.org.uk/congress/Agenda
Still time to apply, I never expected to be on the agenda committee but Iโm so fortunate someone suggested I go for it. You really see the best of the @theRCN membership and itโs shaped my nursing journey in ways I never imagined! What have you got to loose?
Did you know there is a vacant position on our Agenda Committee for RCN Congress?

Quite. We will NEVER balance hospital books if we donโt invest in primary care, community and MH. And for that matter social care and housing.
If youโre working on Christmas Day itโs a great opportunity to highlight that nursing doesnโt stop for Santa! The @RCN_Press team are wonderfully supportive!

Many congratulations to all award winners at our #QNIAwards2023 last week. Photos and a summary of both ceremonies are available here: qni.org.uk/news-and-events/nโฆ
Incredibly humbled to receive my #QueensNurse title from the @TheQNI. My mum was the first extraordinary nurse in my life and I am so fortunate to have met many more.
They help me strive to do and be better every single day and I hope to be able to inspire others to do the same.
