International Nurses’ Day: Celebrating the Best of Nursing

Nurses are leaders, innovators and creators. As we mark International Nurses’ Day, we’re celebrating the profession, and exploring the diversity of nursing roles today. Special guests and RCN award-winners, HMP Cardiff’s Kirsty John and founder and director of British Sikh Nurses Rohit Sagoo, join us to explore the theme of this year’s Nurses’ Day – ‘the Best of Nursing’. Nursing Matters is presented by PNC chair Rachel Hollis and PNC member Professor Alison Leary.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Nursing Matters, the brand new podcast from the Royal College of Nursing. The pandemic is bringing out the very best in nursing – and reminding the public just how invaluable the profession is. What have we learned from this once-in-a-generation crisis? How can we use that knowledge to make the profession more effective in future? And what kind of new deal do nursing staff deserve after all their efforts? Every two weeks on Nursing Matters, we’ll bring together experts from the RCN Professional Nursing Committee along with some special guests to talk about what really matters to nursing. From inspirational innovations and pioneering practice to pay, conditions and health and care policy - we’ll look at it all. And we’ll stand up for nursing all the way. That’s Nursing Matters – available now wherever you get your podcasts. Nursing Matters is a Podmasters production for the RCN.
