    An update from the RCN on our use of X. bit.ly/3w0oSAe
    We have committed as an organisation to be fully inclusive, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory. We have decided an active presence on X is now at odds with our organisational values and we have taken the decision to no longer post on this channel. If you are a member or are interested in the work of the RCN, please follow us on other social media channels.

    "I don't think at any time he thought he was breaking the law... he thought just like many teachers and nurses who after a very long shift would go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink" Tory MP Michael Fabricant urges Boris Johnson to apologise bbc.in/364xut5

    Once again, we offered talks. Once again Ministers refused to get round the table. Once again nursing staff are left with no choice. For the protection of our patients & profession, our next strike will take place on 18 & 19 January 2023. Learn more: bit.ly/3HT5B7N

    No, @RishiSunak, you have not reached a resolution with nurses in the NHS. Our members rejected your pay offer, and we remain in dispute. Over 70% of the public back strike action by nursing staff, we will continue to fight for our profession and for our patients. @bbclaurak

    “The NHS is in a crisis, the nursing profession can’t take any more, our loved ones – your parents, children, friends and relatives – are the ones at stake here." On the eve of the first #RCNStrike, @patcullen9 sets out why this action is the only option. #FairPayForNursing
