I joined the RCN Women’s Health Forum Committee 3 years ago because I firmly believe in the positive power of nursing to impact on women’s lives. I wanted to be part of campaigning for change, ensuring that nurses influence and shape healthcare policy for women.
On the committee, I work with some incredibly talented nurses who share my passion for women’s health. I always leave our meetings feeling optimistic and enthused. I have learned so much working on guidelines and resources like our Women’s Health pocket guides, and it has really enhanced my personal nursing practice.
I have had some amazing opportunities to represent the RCN on a national level ensuring that our nursing contribution is valued and our nursing knowledge is used. The forum is a fantastic channel to advocate for women and influence the political agenda.
I would encourage any nurse with an interest in Women’s health to join the forum. You will be part of a vibrant community that shares your values. It will open up a rich source of learning and will support you in your quest for nursing excellence.
