Report on the Forums and Networks Review Recommendations

In 2021, a review of RCN forums and networks was undertaken to explore and recommend specific actions required to improve the support available to forums and raise their profile in the organisation. The report that followed included 15 recommendations, which were accepted by RCN Council in May 2022. Each recommendation was considered at length and a plan of work agreed in collaboration with members of the forums. This report provides a summary of the actions taken to implement and conclude the delivery of those recommendations.
