A whirlwind visit to Devon last week by Nicola Ranger, RCN Chief Executive & General Secretary, who met teams across South Devon in a range of settings. Nicola said she was struck by the commitment of members to advocate for their service users and is committed to the RCN supporting them.

The number of devastating testimonies in our corridor care crisis report is astounding. But numbers are what makes a union strong. If we come together, WE can be astounding. 💪 Want to do your bit? Become a Health and Safety rep: www.rcn.org.uk/Get-Involved...

In our new report we revealed the true extent of corridor care in the NHS and the negative impact on patients and nursing staff. Some of the nursing staff shared their experiences of the corridor care crisis in our NHS with us. Read the full report: https://buff.ly/3C7BLfu

The UK government cannot understand the impact of care in corridors on patients, families and staff if it isn't being reported. Alongside a coalition of organisations, we’ve written to Wes Streeting MP and NHS England calling for mandatory reporting. Read more:

Corridor care letter

We've written to the Health Secretary Wes Streeting MP, and NHS England calling for an end to treating patients in unsafe spaces. Bringing together a coalition of health care orgs we're demanding transparent reporting and an end to this unacceptable practice.

Today the UK government recommended a pay increase of 2.8% for nursing staff in 2025/26, as little as £2 extra a day. This is deeply offensive, detrimental to patients & contradictory to hopes of rebuilding the NHS. We are calling for direct negotiations on pay - our full response: bit.ly/49Dn28s

Quote from Professor Nicola Ranger reads: We pulled out of the PRB process, alongside other unions, because it is not the route to address the current crisis. That has been demonstrated today. Fair pay must be matched by structural reform. Let’s open direct talks now and avoid further escalation to disputes and ballots – I have said that directly to government today.
