RCN Wales
Representing nurses, HCAs and APs, nursing students and midwives across Wales.
Over ninety percent of RCN members in Wales have rejected the Welsh Government’s 3.6% pay award
In a ballot that saw the highest turnout in the College’s history, members in Wales told the RCN that 3.6% is NOT enough.
Next steps are now being considered, which may include a ballot for industrial action if meaningful discussions with the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care do not happen. Read more in our news story.

Corridor care is not safe care.
Nurses, doctors, and health care staff in Wales are being forced to treat and care for patients in corridors, car parks, and other places where safe care simply isn't possible.
Add your voice to the petition today and help end corridor care in Wales. Anyone can sign the petition, including members of the public. Corridor care is everyone's concern, and we need as many voices as possible.
