abstract: Speaking out: Dorothy Ngomo, executive director of the National Organisation of Nurses of Malawi, addresses nursing leaders at the RCN Scotland member conference in Edinburgh last month about the ongoing partnership between her organisation and the college. Ms Ngomo also witnessed how pressure from nurses resulted in health minister Andy Kerr's announcement that nurses in Scotland would receive their annual pay rise in full, unlike colleagues in England and Wales. RCN general secretary Peter Carter said: 'We welcome the decision to implement the Pay Review Body's recommendation in full. This shows the power of the nursing voice in the run up to the elections in May'.
