Congress is the Glastonbury of nursing, it’s amazing and it brings me so much joy
It was an honour to meet you and be able to give you a platform! I don’t deserve to be in the boxes at the end alongside such phenomenal speakers ❤️
I’m still eager to hear more opinions on this! Feel free to comment

I loved this resolution, and even though it was rejected it felt like a dynamic and engaging debate
For those who missed #RCN25
@lcdoncaster.bsky.social has done a fantastic job of documenting each debate! Definitely go check out her feed from the past few days.
You little treasure! What a fantastic picture. I can use this to show my bosses that I was actually doing things!
Thanks @nhsactivistrn.bsky.social ! Not sure about articulate but tried to speak from the heart! I definitely didn’t keep to the script!
Love this and well done on your speeches!
Great advice Sue! I hope you had a great congress

UK GPN/MH Nurses, I have a genuine ask for your insights.
How much do you know about problem gambling?
Has a patient ever disclosed this was an issue in your field of practice?
Would you know where to direct them to for support?
👨🏫 Really enjoyed teaching aspiring medical students about health inequalities
- As they were 16yo we focused on how the wider determinants can manifest in ill health
- We tasked them to design an intervention to reduce CYP inequalities, using their experience
Was phenomenal!

‘If nurses are the lifeblood of the NHS we are anaemic and haemorrhaging at the same time’
