Nurses to benefit from boost to graduate pay and job progression

MariaPCC 12 February 2026

NHS nurses are set to receive a career boost, as the government and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) have agreed a package. Nursing and nurses are essential to leading and delivering the government’s 10 Year Health Plan, and critical for patient safety, experience and outcomes, but the profession has been undervalued in the NHS for far too long. Too many nurses are not being compensated appropriately for the work they do, and there is currently no universal preceptorship programme in place for new graduate nurses.
