RCN Future of Nursing Parliamentary Lobby
24 Nov 2026, 11:00 - 14:00
Choose event information:
Join us in Parliament on 24 November and help make the case for the next generation of nurses.
Nursing students are the future of health and care, but many are facing significant challenges, from the financial cost of training to uncertainty about jobs after qualification. The parliamentary lobby will bring nursing students, nursing staff and supporters together to meet MPs and call for action on financial support, education quality, workforce planning, career development and pay. By sharing your experiences directly with politicians, you can help demonstrate why investing in nursing is essential to tackle staff shortages, improve patient care and build a stronger NHS.
What is a mass lobby?
A mass lobby is a coordinated day of action, where people meet their MPs in Westminster to make their voices heard on a shared cause. By bringing large numbers of constituents to Westminster at the same time, mass lobbies demonstrate the strength of public feeling on an issue and give MPs a clear opportunity to hear directly from the people they represent.
How do I get there and will the RCN pay for my travel?
The closest overground stations are Victoria and Charing Cross; the closest tube station is Westminster (served by the Circle, District and Jubilee lines) but many others are within 10-20 minutes walking distance.
You can find further information regarding transport and accessibility on the UK Parliament website here: UK Parliament: Getting here
We will reimburse you for travel and in some cases, accommodation costs will be covered if you attend the lobby. More information will be available to those who register.
