Our Chief Executive, @M_J_Hopkins spent the day working as a Porter at Worcestershire Royal Hospital yesterday.

The experience gave Matthew a new insight into the role and a great opportunity to speak with frontline staff during their shift about what's important to them.

Date for your diary 📆 Tuesday 17 September marks World Patient Safety Day - but shouldn't this be everyday? We'll be using this opportunity to tell the public & the Government in England that nurse staffing levels have reached crisis point & urgent action is needed.

[RCN Worcs #SafeStaffingSavesLives @RCNWorcs]

The number of nursing degree applicants in England has fallen 29% since the bursary was axed. We need urgent investment to reverse the trend.

Will you join our campaign to fund our future nurses?
