We look forward to welcoming you at the Somerset Branch AGM 2025. Please arrive by 9:30 am for refreshments and networking before the day starts at 10am. Lunch will be provided so please ensure you have notified us of any dietary requirements.
At the AGM you will hear about the activities that the branch has been supporting Somerset branch members with over the past year. This is also an opportunity to become more involved in the branch by becoming a committee member or to share your thoughts on what events you would like the branch to put on for members in 2026.
Topics covered at the learning / wellbeing section of this event will be:
- Coppa Feel speaking in acknowledgement of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
- What is a meaningful RADAR?
- The public health service in Somerset
- Laura Hyde Foundation on 'End the silence on suicide'.
- a session on health and wellbeing techniques for you.
Your branch executive team will be available to answer any questions that you have and give you an idea (and discuss any of your ideas) of what the branch and RCN should be doing over the next 12 months.
AGM and executive committee places up for election
At the AGM members will vote to ratify their local RCN reps for a further year, and vote for a branch executive committee for 2026. You are invited to express your interest in joining the committee.
