The Amos Report exposes serious failings in England’s maternity services, poor care, racism, and a failure to listen to women. As NMC Registered Nurses and Midwives, our duty is clear: protect patients and uphold safety. If standards aren’t met, speak up. #amosreport #maternityinquiry
What a brilliant day at HQ last week🌿 Huge well done to everyone who took part, especially the international nursing session, which was engaging, personal and incredibly powerful. The openness and honesty in the room made a real impact. Proud to be building this together ✊ #Nursing #MemberVoice
Well Minister,many of us are disappointed in you.You promised AfC staff pay parity and progress,yet no response&broken commitments.Doctors aren’t striking out of choice. They’re striking because the system is broken.If you’re disappointed today,imagine how we feel after years of being let down. #nhs
