In the survey, almost a quarter said registered nurse numbers are “so far below” what is required there’s now a “high risk” of harm on shift, while only 10% say staffing was at the right level to meet all of a patient’s needs.

Today we’re urging governments to deliver sustained investment to rebuild the nursing workforce and meet rising patient need. Our calls come as we publish our latest report, based on the experiences of 13,000 nursing staff, detailing the reality of their most recent shift.

Sir David Attenborough is a national hero 💚🌍 To celebrate his 100th birthday and all he’s done to inspire us to protect our planet, he should be honored with a permanent statue. Agree? Join me by signing @JohannaBaxter MP’s petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...
He’s brought the natural world into our hearts and homes for decades, and fought to protect our planet.
We should honour him properly with a statue to show our appreciation for everything he’s done for us 🌍💚

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.
