Let’s get nursing to the top of the election agenda
Campaign with us this general election
Nursing staff are stretched to their limit. Overworked, underpaid, at breaking point.
We can’t stand by and accept more broken promises or inaction. On Thursday 4 July, let's secure the future of nursing for everyone.
A fresh start for nursing
When you invest in nursing, you invest in patients, you invest in society.
We’re asking political parties and candidates for their passion and political will to bring our health and social care services back from the brink.
With the health and social care sector in crisis, nursing staff are rightly angry. But we have the solutions to provide our profession with the fresh start it needs.
We’re ready to make sure our voices, and those of our patients and communities, are heard loud and clear. Are you?
