Demonstrating Value

The RCN Demonstrating Value programme equips frontline staff with the skills, tools, and techniques to secure commitment for their service and support for ongoing development. Chose between the one-day masterclass or commission a full programme. 

Fitness to Practise

The Royal College of Nursing has worked in liaison with the Nursing Midwifery Council to develop this evidence-based programme. The aim of the programme is to encourage employers to consider taking a learning approach, rather than a punitive approach to address any conduct and capability issues that arise.
