Michael Connarty Pledges Support For Nursing.

Michael Connarty MP has pledged his support for the Royal College Of Nursings Campaign "Nursing Counts"

Local MP Michael Connarty this week renewed his pledge to nursing leaders and students from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in Westminster. The Royal College of Nursing’s double decker bus pulled into Parliament as part of the RCN Nursing counts campaign which highlights the key issues for the nursing community ahead of the general election.

After visiting the nurses on the bus Michael said – “. I am always pleased to show my support for the RCN’s Nursing counts campaign on key nursing issues. The students and nurses I met today were keen and committed to delivering an excellent health service for the twenty-first century It is essential that nursing and nurses are given the support and recognition that they deserve.”

Student nurses came with Janet Davies, Executive Director of Nursing for the RCN, from all parts of the UK, including Scotland where the RCN has 23,000 members. Michael discussed why the shift to Nursing as an all graduate profession is so important to nursing students and pledged his support to the RCN’s manifesto for the forthcoming general election ‘Nursing Counts’ campaign .
