Empowering nurses to progress their careers
Racheal Marshall
Racheal is one of six candidates standing in the 2016 VN Council elections.

VN election candidate hopes to play a part in gaining recognition for the profession
 
"There are currently too many nurses leaving our profession due to the perceived lack of career progression opportunities," said Rachael Marshall, a candidate in the upcoming VN Council elections.

But in fact, she believes there are numerous different routes for nurses to break into. If elected, Rachael hopes to join efforts to empower nurses, helping them to feel valued and reach their full potential by progressing their careers.

Germany livestock import ban lifted

The UK government has amended its ban on the import of livestock, meat and dairy products from Germany.

Defra said the decision follows 'rigorous technical assessment' of the measures applied and the current situation. "If the situation changes, we will not hesitate to take necessary action in response to the FMD outbreaks in the European Union to protect our domestic biosecurity," it said.

The ban was implemented in January following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) near Berlin. Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products will remain in place at a country level.
