The UK govt has announced a 3.6% pay award for nursing staff on Agenda for Change in England - an increase that will be swallowed up by inflation.
Our consultation will open soon for you to tell us what you think.
Only you and your colleagues can decide if it's enough to value nursing.

I'm about to head home from an amazing #RCN25.
I absolutely love Congress but this year with NHS job cuts I didn't realise how much I needed Congress.
Thank you to all the incredible people I've met. U have reminded me of my value.
