19 Dec 2025, 11:00 - 13:00
Choose event information:
RCN Suffolk members are invited to attend your learning event and branch Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The focus of the learning event will be neurodiversity awareness and will be delivered by Romilly O'Driscoll, Lead Practice Education Facilitator for Clinical Education at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust. Romilly has more than a decade of professional experience in helping learners, and the people supporting them, to put the right adjustments in place so neurodivergent students can do their best in practice.
Suitable for everyone, regardless of your role or whether you work in the NHS or independent sector, topics will include raising awareness of the strengths, challenges and limitations of different neurodiverse conditions, the legal responsibilities outlined in the Equality Act 2010 and potential reasonable adjustments. The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. It replaced previous anti-discrimination laws with a single act, making the law easier to understand and strengthening protection in some situations. It sets out the different ways in which it is unlawful to treat someone.As well as our learning event, this session will also incorporate your branch AGM. If you can attend one branch meeting a year, then please make it the AGM. Come along and help make a difference, by shaping local branch activities for the year ahead and electing your branch committee members. Branch meetings provide opportunities for you to have your say on how the branch is run and learn more about the activities it undertakes.
Could you help lead the branch?
