Government has the power to improve nursing pay, but right now the UK govt has suggested only funding a 2.8% pay increase for NHS staff in England next year. We say the PRB process is outdated. It's time for direct negotiations on pay. Agree? Sign our open letter: buff.ly/3VDEkfN

Ready and proud for the #QueensNurse award ceremony and gorgeous lanyard! #ChooseLDNursing @theqni.bsky.social @nchctrust.bsky.social
We need more learning disability nurses. I’m biased as I used to be one. With increasing numbers of children with disability and additional support needs, the transferable skills LD nurses have (including education) are needed more and more.
Anca Manea@ldnurse.bsky.social · 2y agoPolka dots kinda day in the LD nursing team @heidimckrnld.bsky.social 💕 #chooseLDNursing
Is it time for a Government petition to bring back the full bursary for LD Nurses. Many mature students made up the workforce in the past. We need to save the profession as it is in more demand than ever across mainstream and specialist services but numbers on the register are at rock bottom !
Looking good ladies 😍 I am in stripes #chooseLDNursing good job 👏👏 #getLDNursingvisible
Just joined BlueSky! Looking to connect with #LearningDisabiltyNurses 😊
Fantastic to finally have stakeholders from across the UK together to discuss the #RNLDWorkforceCrisis at the @rcnlibraries.bsky.social #LDNursingSummit. Amazing presentations and discussions. We need action now to grow the profession and protect against further LD health inequalities
Such a heart warming message, full of hope by @MoncktonR and a real honor to meet in person at #LDNursingSummit. Thank you for being our amazing ambassador for #ChooseLDNursing
