Hear from RCN Fellows

The nursing workforce in crisis – this Nursing Matters episode hears from Professor Alison Leary, a Fellow of the RCN whose areas of expertise include health care and workforce modelling, and patient safety. 

The nursing profession has a long history of activism and of advocating for change. This episode of Nursing Matters hears from Professor Dame Anne Marie Rafferty, past RCN President, Professor of Nursing Policy and noted historian. Anne Marie introduces her top nursing heroines, makes the case for industrial action to effect positive change and discusses the links between pay and patient safety.

Professor Daniel Kelly, the RCN Chair of Nursing at Cardiff University is a guest on this episode of Nursing Matters, which looks at the RCN's return to the International Council of Nursing. “I think we need to use those links with WHO and other influential organisations...if joining ICN gives us a stronger voice, then so be it, I’m all for that.”
