Who can join?
You’re a valued member of the nursing team – but did you know that you can join the Royal College of Nursing?
As a forward-looking organisation we recognise the crucial role that Health Care Assistants (HCAs) play in delivering health care across all sectors and in many specialities.
We understand that roles in health care are no longer defined by job titles. Whether you work as a Care Worker, a Health Care Support Worker, a Nursing Auxiliary or an Assistant Practitioner - plus the many, many more job titles that exist - our broad membership criteria means more of you are able to join the RCN.
So, if your routine health or social care work is delegated to you by a registered nurse/midwife or you have a qualification in health and care level one of the National Qualifications Framework in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or level three of the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework in Scotland, you can join the RCN.
We offer an introductory rate for your first year of membership. And you can pay monthly by Direct Debit which costs just £8.04* a month. Remember, if you are a UK taxpayer, you can claim tax relief on your subscription fees.
*membership rate as at 1 January 2010
