RCN Defence Nursing Forum - Professional Identity in Defence Nursing Webinar
As Defence nurses we often find ourselves working alongside our civilian colleagues which can pull our professional identity in multiple directions. Join our webinar “Professional Identity in Defence Nursing” to explore what professional identity means within the defence context, why it is essential for nursing practice, and practical strategies to develop and maintain it throughout your career. This session will enhance understanding, reflection, and resilience in your professional role and make you proud to be a defence nurse.
Audience: All Defence nurses and those who support them. The event will be open to both RCN and non-RCN members.
Host: Suzanne Turner, Regional Nurse Advisor Scotland & Northern Ireland Defence Primary Health Care.
