Join the RCN Fertility Forum Facebook Group
RCN Facebook groups are a place where you can get involved in honest and open discussions on the issues that affect you and your field of practice.
I have been a member of the RCN since I qualified as a nurse back in 2005 and I first became a member of the fertility nursing forum in 2007. I applied to be part of the forum committee because I wanted to be part of an organisation that helps to shape the future of nursing and to contribute to policy, education, leadership and decision-making throughout the fertility sector.
The forum committee are a professional stakeholder in the fertility sector and we are recognised as the largest professional group of fertility nursing staff throughout the UK. I am extremely proud to be part of this group and proud of our ongoing achievements and commitment to supporting the sector and our membership.
