Choose event information:
All RCN South Birmingham members are invited to attend their Annual General Meeting, which is being held in person and online via Microsoft Teams. The meeting will also incorporate a learning session on anti-racism.
Learning event: Let’s talk anti-racism
In 2023, RCN Congress voted that the Royal College of Nursing should be an anti-racist and anti-discriminatory organisation, actively transforming the unequal social and workplace relations that shape our interactions. Anti-racism means actively opposing racism by advocating for changes that promote racial equity in society.
As part of Black History Month, we are delighted to welcome a special guest speaker who will support an interactive learning event on anti-racism.
Presented by Sophie Ford, the RCN’s Equity and Inclusion Lead, the session will give you the chance to:
- Gain knowledge and understanding of anti-racism and its relevance in healthcare
- Explore the role of the RCN in advancing racial equity and inclusion
- Share and reflect on personal or workplace experiences in a safe space
- Learn from colleagues and the facilitator through open discussion and Q&A
- Identify practical steps you can take to challenge racism and promote equity in your role
This is a fantastic opportunity to deepen your understanding, broaden your perspective, and engage meaningfully with colleagues on how we can collectively advance anti-racism and inclusion.
