Black History Month 25

The theme for Black History Month UK 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride” #BHM

Today I co-chaired our #UHB #ESEA Heritage Month webinar 🌏💛
Reframing Resilience, colleagues Marianne Panton, Jeni Caguioa MBE, Melaine Kelly, Lyn Cooper Yeung & Paul Fernandez shared powerful stories of culture, family and care in the NHS. Truly inspiring.

Joined @rcn.org.uk General Secretary Nicola Ranger yesterday at one of the most welcoming West Midlands #Hospital. #Nurses shared their views on the 3.6% pay offer. Many still at Band 5 for many years. Proud to support with our RCNSite Rep #Tammy and #Partnership Lead. Our Pay. Our Say. 💙 #RCN #NHS

@rcn.org.uk Pride, Power and Nursing 🌈
I had the joy of dropping in Pride in Nursing, hosted by RCN London Region. #celebration of identity, visibility, the power of being yourself in our profession. Amazing Event @natlou28.bsky.social

Congratulations Prof @calvinmoorley.bsky.social 👏🏾👏🏾Well deserved

Today's funding plans announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in the Spending Review fall short of what's needed to transform the health service.

Our members will give their verdict on whether the government is doing enough for the NHS in our live vote on the pay award.

We’re back for the afternoon session of our RCN Forum Activism event. @georgewoodsrcn.bsky.social takes us through the history of Organsing and how it can help nurses win change for the profession.

@jacynthivey.bsky.social *The Power of Unapologetic Confidence.*
That was the message and the energy brought by the incredible #Jacynth #Ivey at today’s Upliftly Events session. #Sam #Anthea #Pat #Sibil Thank you #Jacynth for sharing your wisdom and lived experience with such authenticity and grace

With an ever-deepening workforce crisis, our Nursing Workforce Standards are needed now more than ever.

We’ve worked with members to update these standards to ensure they:
☑️ reflect new evidence
☑️ remain relevant to the challenges staff face every day

One of the most energising parts of #RCN25 was spending time with our student nurses and support workers, reminder that the future of #nursing is in powerful hands. #Supporting students and support workers is essential. They are the backbone of our present and the leaders of our future @rcn.org.uk

Connecting with RCN Fellows and past Presidents at #RCNCongress2025 was a real highlight of the week. Their wisdom, warmth and unwavering commitment to nursing leadership is truly inspiring. @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social @calvinmoorley.bsky.social @natlou28.bsky.social @kumbikariwo.bsky.social #Cecilia
