I see it as an important part of my role as RCN President to be representing members’ voices at events like these, where the experiences of nursing staff need to be heard.

As the lead nurse for the independent health and social care sector for RCN Eastern, I am enthusiastic about fostering workplaces where all nursing staff feel valued, respected and supported. I want all nursing staff to understand the importance of EDI and to empower them to apply this in everyday practice. EDI is about creating a culture where everyone has an equal chance to thrive.

I want to start by saying that it is a true honour to be elected RCN President and I want to thank everyone who believed in me. I trust in the power of the collective strength of nursing professionals and together we can make the nursing profession more valued and respected. In my role as a nurse working in critical care, every day I see and hear the personal struggles of our nursing staff and see the value of our pay being eroded.

As much of our social and environmental cohesion seems to be falling apart, RCN Fellow Stephen Wright says compassionate action is needed now more than ever.
Last spring I visited Istanbul and Scutari, where Florence Nightingale spent much of her time during the Crimean War. I was reminded of the poem The Second Coming, in which Yeats wrote how “things fall apart; the centre cannot hold”.
