London event - Needs must
Date:12 April 2010
Venue: RCN Headquarters, 20 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0RN
Nutrition crosses all disciplines and is a hot topic in the press and minds of those working for the NHS. We are all constantly reminded of how our diet affects our health, to keep healthy and to exercise more. In real terms, how exactly does nutrition affect your health?
London student information officers have put together this unique event to raise awareness and educate students in key
issues that can affect our patients. Our speakers will talk directly about their first-hand experience with NHS hospitals
and how nutritional needs must be met.
For further information and to book your place contact ans@rcn.org.uk.

RCN Student bus
The big student event this year is on the move...in a further development since turning the annual student conference into regional roadshows we have made it even easier for you to find out how to make the most of your RCN membership aboard the RCN Student Bus.
The message of this project is it's not all about indemnity cover - the RCN has a national student team and the Association of Nursing Students Executive Committee who are there to make your journey through your nursing or midwifery training as supported as possible. Representatives from these are on the bus to help you utilise its facilities.
The bus has a cyber cafe which will enable you to delve into the RCN website and find out more about the RCN services on offer to you such as the Learning Zone, the RCN Library, the Discussion Zone and also how to get more involved with, for example, the RCN Forums.
The upper level of the bus has been converted into a conference suite where seminars relevant to your training will be held. We also have a comfy seating area to sit and discuss any issues you may have or just for you to make the most of having RCN staff on your doorstep.
If you would like any further information about the bus please contact Laura King, Student Co-ordinator by email on: laura.king@rcn.org.uk
