18 May 2026, 17:45 - 18:30

  • Room 1C, ACC Liverpool , Kings Dock , Liverpool Waterfront , Liverpool , L3 4FP
Hosted by the RCN Scotland Board in collaboration with RCN Northern Ireland, RCN Scotland, and RCN Wales

Join the inspirational Nurse of the Year winners from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales as they share an insight into the passion, dedication and innovation that led them to be named an RCN Nurse of the Year. In this event our three winners, Kelly Forbes, from Northern Ireland, Kirsty Cartin from Scotland and Annie Clothier from Wales, will discuss their varied clinical roles and their shared focus on patient centred care and clinical leadership.  

This interactive session will provide an opportunity to hear about the service developments the winners have delivered and to ask questions about their work, career and the opportunities being an RCN Nurse of the Year Award winner provides.

The event is relevant to all delegates. It will be of particular interest to those who want to learn more about clinical leadership, implementing innovation and sharing best practice.
