RCN Congress offers an opportunity to network with peers, hear from exceptional keynote speakers and take part in hot-topic debates about the issues affecting the nursing workforce.
In the build up to the RCN Congress, taking place 14-18 May in Brighton, the Royal College of Nursing has shared its full Learning and Wellbeing Programme which counts towards CPD and runs alongside the main agenda of debates.
The varied and thought-provoking sessions are free for members at Congress to drop into and cater to all areas of the membership. Spend a morning hearing about a day in the life of a prison nurse or an afternoon discussing how to build power in your workplace through activism. There’s a session on returning to work with long COVID, to help staff feel confident in supporting colleagues with long COVID get back to work. Students can learn about how social media is increasingly used to maximise influence and leadership.
For health care support workers, there’s a session on communicating with people with moderate to severe dementia. Independent sector members can find out more about what the RCN is doing for them, with an in-depth look at RCN's independent health and social care strategy. See the full programme here.
