RCNi is part of the Royal College of Nursing Group which is the world’s largest nursing union and professional body representing more than 435,000 nurses, student nurses, midwives and health care assistants in the UK and internationally.

Formerly RCN Publishing, our origins lay in our range of nursing publications and our academic content. However, over the years our organisation has adapted to meet the changing needs of the nursing community and has successfully evolved to move beyond publishing. In recognition of the diverse offering of products and services we now provide, we grew to become RCNi.

RCNi delivers an unrivalled portfolio of nursing journals, whilst also providing learning and decision support products, careers services and impactful events to help the nursing community achieve their potential.

“RCNi inspires the nursing community to improve patient care and experience by developing, championing and connecting nurses around the world. It is this vision that has become our compass and that guides us as we continue to develop innovative resources to meet the needs of the nursing team.”

Rachel Armitage, Managing Director at RCNi

Develop

We help the nursing community to develop themselves and patient care through learning and career solutions.

Since 1987 we have been curating and

creating worthwhile content for nurses;

content that is written by experts and

peer-reviewed by members of the

nursing field.

Our 11 nursing journals, including

Nursing Standard, Europe’s most

widely-read nursing title, help nurses

to feel confident that they are up to

date with best practice from trusted

and reliable sources. The bond we have

with the nursing community underpins

our relationship with our commercial

partners.

The window into all of our digital

resources is rcni.com. From there, users

can access thousands of clinical and

CPD articles, breaking news, careers

advice and a dedicated student area.

These features ensure we maintain an

influential presence across all areas of

the wider nursing community.

To ease the pressure on nurses to meet

continuing professional development

requirements, we launched RCNi

Portfolio - a simple and effective

system for storing evidence and

tracking progress through the

revalidation process.

We followed this up with RCNi Learning

– an interactive, online learning

resource for nurses and nursing

students. RCNi Learning is designed to

broaden nurses’ professional

knowledge, improve their clinical skills

and ultimately inspire excellence in

patient care.

Our offering is completed by

rcnbulletinjobs.co.uk, RCNi’s careers

site. This is free to use and fully

mobile-optimised, making it as simple

as possible for nurses from any band,

practice sector or location to take the

next step in their career.

We actively champion nurses and the causes they care about.

Nursing Standard has a longstanding

history as an advocate for nurses and

in recent years we have been

particularly proud to launch a number

of successful campaigns. In 2013 we

launched the ‘Care Campaign’. This was

a joint initiative by Nursing Standard

and the Patients Association to

improve fundamental patient care

across the UK and resulted in three

quarters of NHS trusts and boards in

the UK signing up to implement our

charter to improve the quality of

patient care.

Similar successes were also achieved

with our ‘Eat Well, Nurse Well’ and

‘1hour2empower’ campaigns which

championed healthy eating and access

to professional development in the

workplace respectively.

Launched in 1988 and now a staple

event in the industry calendar, the

annual RCNi Nurse Awards offer a rare

opportunity to recognise, reward and

celebrate incredible commitment,

innovation and excellence in nursing

practice. Award winners go on to

inspire others with their work and

influence politicians and senior health

care figures to shape health care policy.

Connect

We help nurses connect with their peers and also help employers and other stakeholders to connect directly with the nursing community.

We have created a secure online forum

where nurses come together and share

knowledge with their peers. We take

great pride in knowing RCNi Hub helps

individual nurses to feel connected to a

global community, where information,

ideas and best practice are

confidentially shared.

RCNi are also experts in hosting

conferences. These provide nurses with

practical information, networking

opportunities and new ideas that can

inspire them to make a real difference

in the lives of the people they care for.

We also wish to inspire nurses to reach

new heights in their careers. RCN

Bulletin Jobs Fairs are an excellent

opportunity for nurses and employers

to meet face to face, while the RCN

Bulletin publication goes out to every

RCN member each month, informing

them of important industry updates

and the latest jobs they can apply for.

We know our audience. Now it’s time that you did too.

Meet our audience Student nurses and MidwivesConnecting with the nurses and midwives of the future is of excellent

value to employers in preparing their long-term recruitment strategies

and securing the best up-and-coming nursing talent.

Bands 1-4 This demographic includes health care assistants and assistant

practitioners who provide vital support roles. The newly

created nurse associate role fits into this banding sector.

Band 5 The most significant segment of our audience

are the hundreds of thousands of staff nurses

and midwives who form the lifeblood of the

health care system. As team players, they are

key influencers and provide a direct route to

impact patient care.

Band 6 This segment includes a majority of senior

staff nurses, as well as specialist nurses,

sisters or charge nurses and ward managers.

As a result, this is a useful audience with

which to target specific clinical areas within

the profession.

Band 7 Band 7 is comprised of more senior leadership roles such

as ward managers and advanced nurse practitioners, as

well as some more advanced nurse specialists. These

positions afford greater managerial influence and an

enhanced set of clinical skills, and also provide access to

the growing nurse prescriber community.

Bands 8 & 9 Matrons and nurse and midwife consultants constitute the majority of band 8a-8d

positions, with some highly-experienced specialist nurses also being present in band 8a.

The uppermost grade is comprised of divisional nurse managers, a role which has a major

impact on services and nursing teams. As a result, this segment of our audience provides

access to the some of the most influential nursing positions in the health care system.
