'Emergency care: you make the difference'

Published: 16 February 2010

We are pleased to announce the RCN Emergency Care Association's Annual Conference and Exhibition, to be held Friday 22 and Saturday 23 October 2010, at Cardiff City Hall.

This conference will not only examine some of the current and future challenges to emergency care but will also tackle the critical role of the nurse and allied health professional in addressing these challenges. We will also have topical, practical sessions on the creation and implementation of initiatives for change, and hope to augment these with sessions on the effective leadership and management of developing services.

As an emergency care professional, you have made the difference in emergency care provision throughout the recent period of change. We now want to hear about your successful achievements and developments. Through sharing and learning from these experiences, the conference aims to renew your enthusiasm for change. You will also hear how you can continue to be pivotal in addressing the challenges that the future holds for all emergency care professionals.
