This briefing provides a summary of the views of RCN members in Scotland and paints a detailed picture of members’ professional lives across the NHS and the independent health and social care sector.

The data comes from RCN members who took part in the RCN Employment Survey which was undertaken during autumn 2023. The survey received, 1,802 responses from registered nurses, nursing support workers and nursing students in Scotland, representing 16% of the total UK wide responses.

This survey is the latest in a long-running series undertaken with RCN members across the UK. Over the years, many of the survey questions have remained consistent, which allows us to compare trends over time. The key findings from across the UK can be found here.
