Regional groups
The aim of the regional groups is to provide a nationwide support network for nurses at all stages of development to exchange information about research developments in child health practices to provide the ‘best’ evidence-based care for the child and family. The regional groups provide access to the RiCH Group for members at a local level.
The regional groups are aimed at nurses from all areas: clinical and non-clinical nurses, nurse teachers and students. You do not need to be undertaking a research project to attend a meeting. On the contrary, regional group meetings are designed to share an interest in research in the field of child health.
Details of the regional groups and their co-ordinators appear on the left - click on the relevant region to find details for your area. Contact your regional co-ordinator for details of upcoming meetings in your area.
