Membership

We are the largest professional union for nursing in the UK, representing more than 390,000 nurses, health care support workers and nursing students, both in the NHS and the private sector.

We represent nurses and nursing, we lobby government and other professional bodies - and we make sure your views are heard where it counts.

Which means that, as a member of the RCN, your views and experiences will help to shape the development of future nursing policy both in the UK and internationally.

And as if that wasn’t enough, you will be able to take part in specialist nursing forums, where you can have a direct impact on influencing nursing policy at the local and national level.

So join up. Be heard.
