Leaders in London

Leaders in London is designed to be a two-way conversation between RCN London and nurse leaders in the NHS, independent sector, higher education and the third sector. This conversation will open up the opportunity for nurse leaders to influence RCN policy and get their message across, as well as acting as a conduit for the RCN to solicit these views.

The consultation ends on 8 March, and we have an online survey posted on the RCN London web page which we will use to gauge our members’ involvement with this important issue.

This summer the RCN is fighting disparity within the UK.

The RCN believes that this is a preventable state of affairs, which could easily be corrected at a relatively small cost (£60m) to the Government.

Welcome to another edition of Leaders in London. In the last edition I welcomed a new Chief Executive to head up the London SHA, NHS London, so it is with a certain sense of deja vu that I extend the same welcome to Ruth Carnall.
