It's time for #RCNWalesAdvent25. We’ve posted our calendars far and wide to promote what nursing needs not only this Christmas, but for the years ahead. Welsh-language nursing education is important not only for students, but for people in rural areas to have a choice to communicate in Welsh.

On day 6 of #RCNWalesAdvent25, we want to see effective care being delivered closer to home. Nursing staff are central to making this a reality.
