Live events for the nursing support workforce

The nursing support workforce is a vital part of the nursing team, working across a diverse range of workplace settings in health and social care.

Your roles include health care assistants, health care support workers, assistant practitioners, nursing associates, nursing assistants, maternity support workers, and many more.

We’re extremely proud to have the nursing support workforce within our membership. That’s why we’ve organised this series of live events - designed to showcase RCN support, resources, and ways NSWs can get involved and get active with our membership.
