Shropshire

Every member of the RCN is affiliated to their local RCN branch.

If you are a member affiliated to the Shropshire branch - and you can check which is your local branch on your RCN membership card - you can take advantage of opportunities to meet fellow members, discuss issues of local interest and concern and take part in events and activities aimed at promoting your professional development.

The branch development programme for 2012 is set out below.
