20 Oct 2026, 18:00 - 19:00
Choose event information:
This informative webinar will introduce first-year nursing students in Wales to key academic skills that will support both your studies and future nursing practice. You will explore the importance of evidence in healthcare and learn how library resources can help you access reliable information.
The session will also provide an overview of responsible AI use, academic integrity, academic writing, reflective practice and referencing.
By the end of the session, students will be familiar with these core concepts and know how to access further support and resources through RCN Libraries as you progress through your programme.
You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to our RCN Wales Librarian and Information Services Manager.
Aimed at first-year nursing students, but open to all nursing students in Wales - you do not need to be an RCN member to join this event!
