Janet Davies

Chief Executive, Royal College of Nursing

In 2015 Janet Davies became the new chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, the world’s largest nursing trade union and professional body, which represents almost half a million nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants. Davies has recently voiced the body’s concern over severe nursing shortages in London, which it attributes to low pay in the profession, while student nurses have seen cuts to NHS bursaries. Davies had been an executive director at the RCN for ten years prior to becoming chief executive, and began her nursing career in Manchester working in acute, mental health and community settings. Before joining the RCN she was chief executive of Mersey Regional Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
