A Day to Celebrate Nursing Support Workers

This week on Nursing Matters, the podcast looks forward to the RCN's Nursing Support Workers' Day on Tuesday, 23rd November, which is celebrating its second year. Each year the organisation shines a light on the essential contribution nursing support workers make to patient care, and joining the podcast this week to help explain their importance is Kevin Morley, Chair of the Nursing Support Workers Committee, and Maive Coley, Vice Chair of the Committee. Nursing Matters is presented by PNC chair Rachel Hollis and Tracie Culpitt, Nursing Support Worker member of the PNC. Tell us what YOU want us to discuss on the podcast by tweeting @theRCN with the tag #NursingMatters Maive Coley: “We are at the forefront of care. We are the ones who the families see, whether in the hospital or the care home or community.” Kevin Morley: “I love and relish my job, I really love what I do but I do recognise that for a long time our work was unrecognised and for a long time we were the profession that was seen and not heard.” Tracie Culpitt: “We don’t often showcase a lot of the work our carers do, it’s very important that we raise the profile.” Presented by Rachel Hollis. Audio production by Alex Rees. Assistant producer Jelena Sofronijevic. Music: ‘Snappy’ by Jonathan Boyle under licence from premiumbeat.com. Nursing Matters is a Podmasters Production for the RCN. https://www.rcn.org.uk Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
