RCN Lancashire West Branch AGM and Learning Event
04 Nov 2026, 12:00 - 17:00
Choose event information:
Join us for the AGM and learning event of the Lancashire West branch, taking place in person at the Royal Preston Hospital and online on Teams.
The AGM is open to all members and is the time to review your branch activities over the past twelve months, as well as making plans for the year ahead. It's also your opportunity to get involved in shaping the future of your branch, have your say on how it's run and learn more about the activities it undertakes.
If you're new to the RCN and this is your first AGM, please get involved - it's a great way to meet colleagues and other RCN members and influence the types of activities and events that you feel would be useful to you.
Alongside the necessary points of AGM business, we will also be allowing time for networking and a learning event, topic tbc. Our programme for the day is therefore:
12pm - Networking lunch
1pm - Learning event, topic tbc
2.15pm - 5pm - AGM
Further details of our learning event will be announced shortly.
Governance roles
An AGM is also the time to agree a branch committee structure and to elect members to key committee roles. Any member of a branch can stand for one of the governance roles and if a role is contested an election may be held.
As a minimum, each Branch must have a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. These roles ensure that the branch meets all governance requirements, schedules and leads on branch meetings and activities and provide a direct link to the team at the regional office. What these roles involve is explained here.
There are also opportunities to lead on areas that matter most to you, such as equity, diversity and inclusion, students, nursing support workers, learning events, communications or member engagement.
Taking on one of these roles is a brilliant opportunity for personal and professional development and you will be supported by the RCN when you start. If you are interested in one of these roles, then please complete this form before the AGM.
