Get ready with our Congress workshops

21 Feb 2026

Are you heading to Liverpool 2026, or following along from home, or even just want to improve your skills? Our workshops will help you make the most of RCN Congress.

Hands hold up signs to vote "For" or "Against", or to "Abstain" from the vote.

RCN Congress returns to Liverpool from 18–21 May 2026, bringing together thousands of nursing staff and leaders to connect, share ideas and influence the future of the profession.

Back by popular demand, our Preparing for Congress workshops are here to help you feel confident, informed and ready to make the most of your Congress experience.
