Guide to RCN Congress Education, Learning and Development Programme submissions

The Congress Education, Learning and Development Programme (ELDP) is a dynamic line-up that brings together traditional fringe, student, nursing support worker, wellbeing and sponsor sessions.

The programme is overseen by a member-led group with representatives from across the UK.

The programme will be accessible onsite at Congress, and where agreed and appropriate, recordings will be available to watch on-demand after the event. Attendees will be able to choose sessions by theme to tailor Congress to their own interests.

Remember, each session also supports CPD and can be used to contribute to revalidation.

Congress is an in-person event and it is expected that all ELDP presenters, chairs and panel members will be onsite to deliver their session. For more information, please contact congress@rcn.org.uk.
