NHS pay, changes to funding for advanced practice programmes and a petition to recognise nursing associates in their own right – these are some of the issues getting nurses talking this week.

In our latest podcast, RCNi content editor Alistair Mason and senior journalist Shruti Sheth Trivedi bring you fresh insights on the nursing headlines grabbing our attention.

They also discuss RCNi subscriber content, including next steps and key dates for the 2025-26 pay award and an article on continuing professional development (CPD) using the national Paediatric Early Warning System (PEWS) for England.
