Since that day, our members have been driving nursing forward. Thank you. www.rcn.org.uk/rcn100 | Royal College of Nursing | Facebook

13 reactions | A year ago, we started something big. Faced with a decade of stagnant wages and an NHS in crisis, nursing staff in England, Wales and Northern Ireland went on strike. Our profession is more powerful than ever because of our action, but the scale of the crisis continues. We aren’t giving up the fight because safe staffing, fair pay, our NHS, is all still worth fighting for. | Royal College of Nursing | Facebook
