Prison Nursing Unlocked: A history of care and justice

Today, nurses play a vital role in prison health care. At the heart of their work is ‘equitable care’ – ensuring that people in prison receive the same quality of health care as those in the community. However, as recently as 30 years ago, many prisoners would never have encountered a registered nurse.
The exhibition runs at RCN London HQ, Thursday 24 April – Friday 19 December 2025 and then at RCN Scotland (final dates tbc).
