Pat announced that the RCN will be creating a new Centre of Excellence Institute, offering extensive educational programmes and awarding degrees. In collaboration with universities, the RCN will develop its own professorships and fund PhD programmes, she said.  

In addition, Pat revealed that the RCN Group will launch a new portal bringing together 350 pieces of learning and guidance into one place for the first time this summer.

蜜桃直播淔or nursing to keep advancing, the true potential in every one of us must be reached,蜜桃直播� Pat said.

蜜桃直播淭he RCN I lead will have professional development as a fundamental part of what it means to be a member 蜜桃直播� no matter your role or point in your career. 

蜜桃直播淲e will empower the nursing workforce and embed an education and learning culture within health care delivery,蜜桃直播� she pledged. 

Pat used her speech to deliver a stark warning to employers. 蜜桃直播淓nough is enough,蜜桃直播� she exclaimed. 蜜桃直播淲e deserve better, we demand better.蜜桃直播� 

She urged members to use the RCN蜜桃直播檚 Nursing Workforce Standards 蜜桃直播� launched last year as a national blueprint for excellent patient care 蜜桃直播� to hold employers to account when standards fall short. 

蜜桃直播淭ell your employer. Again, and again and again,蜜桃直播� Pat urged. 蜜桃直播淲e蜜桃直播檝e had enough. No more.

蜜桃直播淚f half a million of us escalate our concerns at the end of every shift. If every performance report highlights near misses, unsafe staffing levels, cancelled procedures, poor levels of recruitment and retention. Then that is a foundation stone.

蜜桃直播淲e want every health board in the UK to be talking about the staffing crisis in their organisation. We want them to be asking their executive teams what they can do about it.蜜桃直播�

Referencing our newly released last shift survey report 蜜桃直播� which showed 8 out of 10 shifts were unsafely staffed 蜜桃直播� she demanded of politicians: 蜜桃直播淒o something about it.

蜜桃直播淲e蜜桃直播檝e had enough, the patients and those we care for have had enough. We蜜桃直播檙e tired, fed up, demoralised, and some of us are leaving the profession because we蜜桃直播檝e lost hope. Enough is enough.蜜桃直播�

Governments around the UK will announce the next NHS pay awards any day now. On pay, Pat insisted that nursing staff shouldn蜜桃直播檛 be afraid to demand what they蜜桃直播檙e worth. 

蜜桃直播淣ever be embarrassed for asking to be paid decently and appropriately,蜜桃直播� she said. 蜜桃直播淣o matter where you work, your pay needs to rise. If you work in social care or for an independent provider, the very least you deserve is for your pay to match the same roles in the NHS. 

蜜桃直播淲hen ministers make their announcements this summer, anything below the current level of inflation is another pay cut. Nursing is skilled work. It is safety critical work. But the salary doesn蜜桃直播檛 match that level of responsibility. 

蜜桃直播淢inisters miss the point entirely when they say that it蜜桃直播檚 a choice between filling nursing jobs or paying proper wages. You only get the people to join and stay if they see that they蜜桃直播檙e being valued.蜜桃直播�

Among her key messages, Pat was keen to address instances of poor workplace culture, insisting that all nursing staff be treated with dignity and respect. 

With regards bullying and harassment – which she described as “disgusting, intolerable and unacceptable”, she urged members to be kind and civil to each other.

“Be inspiring, be proud, be the role model you can be,” she said. 

Pat also addressed the need for workplaces to become more inclusive. “Nursing is a tapestry of all nationalities, beliefs, and cultures. And we celebrate that rich diversity. 

“Black, Asian, minority ethnic and female leaders are found more in our profession than many others. But there are simply not enough. Let’s promote equality of opportunity. That is how we become a force to be reckoned with. Doing nothing is not an option.”
