Branch Officers

Meetings and Local Learning Events in 2013

The RCN Worcestershire branch has scheduled its branch members’ meetings for 2013, and is also holding a number of Local Learning Events for its members.

These events are bite-sized chunks of development and learning that last no more than 90 minutes. By attending, you contribute to your CPD, and you receive a certificate of attendance for your portfolio.

The events are free for RCN members and £25 for non-members. The cost for non-members is redeemable upon applying for RCN membership on the day.

You will need to book your place on the Local Learning Events. To reserve a place, please email westmidlands.region@rcn.org.uk or call 0121 450 4300.

Please specify the event you wish to attend and quote your RCN membership number (if applicable) and your place of work when booking.

If you have any queries about any of the events, please call 0121 450 4300.
