An update from the RCN on our use of X. rcn.org.uk/Get-Involved/RCN-…
The RCN is committed to being fully inclusive, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory. We have decided an active presence on X is now at odds with our organisational values and have taken the decision to no longer post on this channel. This RCN social media account will no longer be used. You can find a list of all RCN social media accounts on our website.

#OTD in 1805, Mary Seacole was born. Mary nursed British soldiers at the height of the cholera and yellow fever epidemics. During The Crimean War she funded her journey to the frontlines where she bravely nursed the wounded and gained the sobriquet ‘Mother Seacole’.
