RCN London region

Bernell Bussue

It’s the height of the holiday season, but there is no slowdown at RCN London.

The Darzi and Picture of Health reviews have now reported. These present major considerations for the future delivery of healthcare in the region. Many of the proposals the RCN can actively support but where there are concerns, our representatives will work with the relevant agencies across London to support the thrust of finding clinically based solutions which do not undermine existing service provision and protection of staff conditions as the momentum builds towards service re-configuration and reorganisation.

Remember also the Board elections. Your vote can have an effect on how the RCN is run. Please use it. The eight vacant seats are student representative, South East, South West, North Central, North East and North West divisions, as well as two Regional seats. The closing date for nominations is 15 August and the closing date of the ballot will be 12.00 noon on Monday 13 October 2008.

If you are taking a holiday during the school closure period, I would like to wish you an enjoyable break. If you are one of the people holding the fort, remember the RCN is here for you. Do feel free to make contact with us especially if you want information about full membership, Health Care Assistant membership, student or associate membership.
