Cheshire West branch

Welcome

Welcome to the Cheshire West branch of the RCN. The branch Executive is made up of Sheila Dunbar and Hayley Cooper (Treasurer to be confirmed) - contact details are below.

The branch covers a geographical area from the Wirral to Chester up to Warrington, and incorporates Primary Care Trusts, Acute Trusts, and some private organisations (detailed below).

There are lots of experienced Representatives (Reps) covering health and safety and learning, and also a wide area of specialities such as mental health, oncology, surgery, ITU and community. With such a wide knowledge base and areas of expertise, there's always good peer support from the branch for new and old Reps alike, in all areas of work.

The branch is forward-thinking and always looking for new ideas, and new Reps with a passion for nursing and supporting nurses in a range of areas.
