Registered nurses use evidence-based knowledge, professional and clinical judgement to assess, plan, implement and evaluate high-quality, person-centred nursing care. The RCN’s Fair Pay for Nursing campaign asks for long-term, structural reform of nursing pay which recognises the value of nursing across all levels and in all sectors and settings. This report outlines the clear arguments for pay reform, including introducing Annex 20 for the nursing workforce.
