"Women Members Lead the RCN"

Women remain underrepresented in leadership roles at our college - it's time to change that.

On Aug 18, I’ll be chairing a webinar with an inspiring panel of women leaders.

Check your inboxes for details & join us if you think an elected role might be for you!

I am thinking about our 90% female workforce on #InternationalWomensDay and every day

Underpaid
Overworked
More likely to die by suicide
More likely to be victims of domestic abuse
Routinely sexually harassed at work

I will continue to fight for better.

Final question of this month's #SkyChat

Starting with our students - what can we do? #NurseSky

Fifth question - where are the levers just now and what are the barriers?

Fourth question - looking to nursing's leaders and organisations. #NurseSky #SkyChat
December 15, 2024 at 7:36 PM
Third question - some of you have already mentioned that we can be seen as "doctors helpers".

How do patients see us in this context? What about how our colleagues and managers see us? #NurseSky #SkyChat

Where do some of the misconceptions come from?

The Royal College of Nursing has issued a position statement, supporting decriminalisation of abortion in Scotland, England and Wales.

Welcomed and timely. The UK is not immune to backsliding and must, instead, seek progress.

What is your 10/10 album?

Probably not the spirit of this tend but...

This was my very first album, aged 10 years old, for my first CD player.

Every single song is still an absolute bop.

Bluesky reminds me of joining Twitter in 2017.
