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.

Ethical recruitment of overseas nurses – how can we do better?
The UK relies heavily on recruiting overseas nurses to join the workforce, at a time when we have an urgent need to increase our own domestic supply.
In the context of a global shortage of nurses, how should we manage international recruitment, and how can we improve the support given to international nurses when they arrive in the UK? Special guests Felicia Kwaku OBE and Charlotte Collings join us to explore ethical recruitment, the experiences of overseas nurses, and how we can learn from diaspora nursing communities.
Nursing Matters is presented by PNC chair Rachel Hollis and PNC committee member Tim Grace. Tell us what YOU want us to discuss on the podcast by tweeting @theRCN with the tag #NursingMatters
“We talk about ethical recruitment; what about ethical practice when those nurses and midwives are here in the United Kingdom?”- Felicia Kwaku
“I think it's important that in this country, we make sure that there's really robust domestic training, and that the pay is right.”- Felicia Kwaku
“We should broaden our search because by including other countries that are not red list countries in this search for sustainable, we will have much richer diversity and experience.” - Charlotte Collings
“I've seen so many international nurses say to me, you know, why am I being paid at the bottom of band five? And I've never had an answer for that.” - Charlotte Collings
