Influencing on your behalf

We campaign on issues of concern to nurses and patients, influencing health policies and promoting excellence in nursing practice on behalf of our members.

As part of our work on lobbying politicians, Theresa Fyffe, RCN Scotland Director, joined a panel discussion at the SNP virtual autumn conference. The topic for discussion was 'Priorities for Scotland's health and care'. Joining Theresa on the panel were: Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport; Clare Morrison, Director for Scotland, Royal Pharmaceutical Society; Kenryck Lloyd-Jones, Public Affairs and Policy Manager, Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Scotland; and Dr Lewis Morrison, Chair, BMA Scotland.

The Health and Sport Committee of the Scottish Parliament is consulting on the future of primary care. The RCN has submitted evidence on behalf of our members both on our own and as part of the multidisciplinary Primary Care Clinical Professions Group.
