From the nursing legal experts
If you need help with work-related problems, or have been referred to your professional body, we have the expertise to advise and represent you.
RCN Legal Services help members with nearly 2,000 NMC cases a year. Our results show that our members are less likely to be struck off and more likely to receive no sanction.
Our specialist in-house lawyers also cover all aspects of employment law from unfair dismissals and redundancies to complex reorganisations, whistleblowing, TUPE, equal pay and discrimination cases - and we run cases in both the tribunals and the higher courts.
RCNLaw can support you with a personal injury claim so before you purchase (or when renewing) your car insurance with any provider, check if you are paying extra for a BTE (Before The Event) legal cover product. It may be that you can save money by utilising the RCN’s personal injury claims service provided by RCNLaw (subject to small claims limits and being in membership at the time of the accident).
We can also provide advice on Wills and Probate.
And, if you need free legal advice on non-work matters, we can help with that too.
So if you have a problem at work, your first step is to seek our help. Explore our comprehensive advice, contact our advice team by email at any time, or call 0345 772 6100 7 days a week.
