Choose event information:
Senedd elections are coming. Quiz candidates standing in constituencies from Newport to Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
This May, Wales will elect a new Welsh Government. Do the people seeking your vote have a plan for nursing in Wales?
Join us on 9 April for the chance to put your questions to a live panel of candidates standing for election near you.
Whether it’s about corridor care, pay, safe staffing, nursing education, community nursing, or care homes, this is your chance to tell them what it's like to nurse in 2026 – and to ask them what their party will do if elected. Your candidates could be in the next Welsh Government. What do you think every candidate should be thinking about?
Why wait? If you already know what you want to ask the candidates, send your questions in advance. Email policy&publicaffairs.wales@rcn.org.uk in Welsh or in English.
