Earlier this week, the King's Speech detailed the Westminster government's key commitments for the next parliamentary session – many of which are of importance to the RCN.
However, some key areas were missed, such as fixing the broken system of nursing pay, growing the workforce and protecting the title of nurse.
Swipe through the carousel above for a rundown of what is means for nursing staff.

When you’re focused on caring for others every day, it’s easy to not prioritise your own wellbeing and mental health.
The theme for this year’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is ‘action’, so we’re encouraging nursing staff to take a few moments today to commit to one positive action that supports their long-term mental health. 💙

“People may not always see everything that a midwife does, but the impact lasts beyond the perinatal period; it lasts a lifetime.” ❤️
