'Lansley must listen to nurses on the front line' Christine Hancock - RCN secretary and dignity campaigner
Nurse and midwife Christine Hancock made a big impact as RCN general secretary from 1998 to 2001, shifting the public view of the RCN back to one of leading a caring profession after years of pay disputes.
A colleague recalls: “When I first met Christine, she was about to go to the RCN from a trust where she ran a long-stay hospital which had a horrible shared clothing policy. She ran a ‘knickers for all’ campaign and told the staff she wasn’t going to the RCN until everyone was wearing their own underwear.”
She is now European director of the Oxford Health Alliance.
