Handing over the baton
In 2018 a casual vacancy arose on the UK Stewards Committee (UKSC), and someone was needed to take on this role for the South West. I had not long completed training to be an RCN steward and felt that maybe I was not experienced enough in the ways of the RCN to take on this responsibility, but I thought about it and spoke to my Branch Chair, Vicky Brotherton. With her encouragement, I did submit my application, and left the decision in the hands of the members of the South West region. I was delighted when they put their trust in me and voted me on to the committee.

Get active – what does that even mean?
I became ‘RCN active’ in about 2013 but what does ‘get active’ even mean? Well, for me it's been a rollercoaster of a journey. A journey through which I have made life-long friends and made a difference to colleagues in my workplace and across the profession.
