RCN Wales Political Leadership Programme

On 28 and 29 June 2010 and 4 and 5 October 2010 the RCN in Wales will be holding a two-day political leadership course.   

A new UK Government, an upcoming Assembly election, a possible referendum – how do all of these factors influence health policy in Wales?  There is no better time to embark on the RCN Wales Political Leadership Programme.

The course will develop your influencing skills and expand your knowledge of how health and social policy is shaped in Wales. The course provides an invaluable insight in to the Welsh political landscape and illustrates how policy is shaped by that context. It will encourage participants to engage with strategic policy and provides the tools for such engagement.

The course includes guest speakers from the media and lobbying industry and networking opportunities.

There are limited places still available, if you are interested please contact Alison Hobbs-McClean on 029 2075 1373 or email:  Alison.Hobbs-McClean@rcn.org.uk for more details and an application form.
