The Royal College of Nursing in Northern Ireland is warning that industrial action, including strike action, could be imminent as nursing staff continue to be denied a pay award already given to colleagues in other parts of the UK.
Nursing students from across Northern Ireland demonstrated teamwork, leadership and clinical decision-making skills at RCN Northern Ireland’s latest student leadership challenge, held yesterday at Craigavon Civic Centre.
Five RCN members from Northern Ireland who have made an exceptional contribution to the Royal College of Nursing, have been honoured in this year’s RCN Awards.
The RCN in Northern Ireland has urged the Department of Health to immediately match the significant new commitments to nursing staff announced today in England.
