My Manifesto
In my 25 years as an RCN Activist, I have served many of you as a Steward and Branch Officer, as well as a member of the North West Board, Forum Chair and Agenda Committee member.
I now seek your support to be your Council Member and be your champion in protecting patient care, nurses’ jobs and your employment rights.
My passion is developing the potential within every nurse and this led to me to my current roles as a Director of Community Health Innovation in Manchester and Visiting Lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University, Bucks New University and Goldsmiths University of London. My career spanned both hospital and community care in the NHS and the independent sector. I am currently an RCN North West Board Member and Chair the North West Independent Sector Network.
I believe that the RCN could do so much more in supporting you to deliver the kind of care you want to be proud of. We are in unprecedented times with regards to our employment, our pay and our pensions.
Politicians and the media are openly criticising nurses and HCAs and the RCN needs to publically challenge these criticisms and fight to protect pay, terms and conditions. I have the skills, knowledge and drive to represent you at RCN Council and I will put our members at the centre of my work.
Together we can
- Raise standards of care
- Stop the erosion of pay and conditions for nurses
- Fight against cuts in staff and services
