Royal College of Nursing
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is a registered trade union and professional body in the United Kingdom for those in the nursing profession. It was founded on 27 March 1916 as the College of Nursing, with 34 members, aiming to promote nurse education, uniform curricula, and professional recognition. It received a royal charter in 1928 and was renamed the Royal College of Nursing in 1939. Queen Elizabeth II served as patron until her death in 2022, succeeded by King Charles III in 2024. The RCN's membership mainly consists of registered nurses, though student nurses, healthcare assistants, and retired members also belong. Its mission includes representing nurses, promoting excellence in practice, and shaping health policy. The RCN provides advice services, a main library in London, regional libraries, and educational courses through the RCN Institute. Since 1977, it has been registered as a trade union. Historically, it played roles in nurses' pay campaigns, equal pay efforts, and policy influence, including the 1974 'Fair Pay for Nurses' campaign. In 2010, its charitable work moved to the RCN Foundation. Recent history includes leadership changes in 2018 and the RCN's first strike in Northern Ireland in 2019 over pay and staffing issues.
