We are delighted to announce that the Autumn conference will be held in person on Thursday 1 and Friday 2 October in Newcastle.
The conference takes place twice a year in the spring and autumn and is open to all RCN accredited reps across the UK. We’d welcome new faces – so if you’ve never been to one of these conferences before, please do consider applying.
We are now working hard to develop the programme, packed with quality speakers, learning sessions and networking. This conference brings together our community of reps from across the UK to meet friends old and new. It also provides an opportunity for us to learn together and share our experience of the vital work we all do in our workplaces.
Further information about the programme will follow soon.
