My door is always open

Sarah Winfield-Davies 5 Dec 2023

When I reflect on the last year and think about all of the IHSC employers and members and I have met I feel incredibly proud and privileged to be in this role as your link to the RCN, your voice to improve your membership experience and to showcase the often-unseen innovations and exceptional care delivered within the independent health and social care sector.

One of the things that has struck me when I have been connecting with employers and members is that many have been unaware that nursing support workers can join the RCN.

However the RCN is here to support the whole of the nursing workforce. 

To be eligible for nursing support worker membership you must be working under the guidance and supervision of a registered nurse, midwife or health visitor.

For further information see 'Become a nursing support worker member'.
 
Take a moment to be inspired by this YouTube film of our nursing support worker workforce who celebrated Nursing Support Workers’ Day on 23 November
