Representing nurses, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ support workers, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ students and midwives across Scotland
We campaign on issues of concern to ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ staff and patients, influencing health policies and promoting excellence in ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ practice on behalf of our members.
Nursing is demanding action, not promises
Five years on from the last Scottish parliament elections, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ staff have seen no meaningful improvement to health and care services, whether in the NHS or independent sector. So, ahead of the 2026 Scottish Parliament election, join our campaign and find out how you can get involved.
Tell us what staffing levels were like the last time you were at work and help us build an accurate UK-wide picture of the challenges that ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ and midwifery is facing today.
Whether you work for an NHS or independent sector employer; whether you’re in the community or in acute care; whatever your ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ specialism, your insight gives us the evidence that we need to demand change.
Review of band 5 ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ roles roadshows
As part of our commitment to supporting members taking part in the review of band 5 ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ roles, we're coming to meet with you as part of our roadshow programme across Scotland. Come and talk to us about how we can support you and raise your concerns.
This report provides a summary of the views of RCN members in Scotland and paints a detailed picture of members’ professional lives across the NHS and the independent health and social care sector.
Scottish government has published its report 'Delivering Together for a Stronger Nursing and Midwifery Workforce'. Read more about their recommendations that were shaped by the ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ voice and that reflect our priorities for action.
NHS ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ staff in Scotland are getting a boost to their pay in February, under a guarantee in the NHS pay deal covering 2025-26 and 2026-27 negotiated by the RCN and the joint health trade unions.
RCN members met with Tom Arthur MSP, Minister for Social Care and Mental Wellbeing, to discuss the vital role of ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ within Scotland’s care homes and community health services.
