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.
