RCN Frontline First campaign

The RCN is gathering evidence to show that innovative nurses on the frontline are not only being more productive; that is, making efficiency savings and still providing quality care: many nurses are in fact enhancing the quality of the care and services they provide as they redesign more cost effective services and develop new models of care. Tell the RCN about your frontline innovations through the Frontline First campaign website.
