Election Special 4: The Conservatives.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

We didn't have parties to "boost morale".
We didn't have quiz nights.
We didn't have champagne.
We watched our colleagues die.
We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands.
These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office.
Use your vote. Vote.

Acting RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Nicola Ranger @theRCN talking to @DerbyUni @UOD_SONM students about the benefits of coming to @RCN Congress. #RCN24.

The amazing Linda Silas, President of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions at #RCN24 sending a message to our students @DerbyUni @UOD_SONM about safe & effective nursing practice & staffing ratios. We really enjoyed the chance to speak with Linda @danni_dunne @laurasmithRNA

[Laura Smith @laurasmithRNA]

Managed to nap a selfie with the chair and vice chair of #RCN24 @bjgw and @Linda_ex_CPH who have done an excellent job all week.

[Craig Gunton-Day 👨‍🎓🏥🏳️‍🌈 @iamcraigdayRN]

Amazing keynote speech from @gareththomas14 discussing his positive healthcare experiences and the steps he is taking to tackle the social stigma of living with HIV. Really proud to be here with my @DerbyUni @UOD_SONM colleagues at the #RCN24 Congress

To be clear Prime Minister, we have not reached an NHS pay settlement for nursing - our members rejected the government's offer and remain in dispute. We expect whoever forms the next government to start direct negotiations on nursing pay during the summer. #ITVdebate #GE2024

[Laura Smith @laurasmithRNA]

Highlight of Congress so far is @CFNUPresident keynote speech. ‘Holy s**t, the nurses are here’ #rcn24

[Laura Smith @laurasmithRNA]

Found the wonderful @IanPeate at #RCN24 and had to get a selfie with him and the book where he included me in his dedication. I cannot even begin to describe the opportunities Ian has provided me with since I met him at Congress 2019 and I am so grateful.

[The RCN @theRCN]

Migrant care workers are being abused and exploited by rogue employers.

It is a national scandal.

Party leaders must commit to a full, sector-wide investigation into exploitation in social care.
