RCN Southern branch

If you're an RCN member working in the Southern region, you're automatically a member of our Southern branch. Welcome to your nursing community.

Our branch includes members at Craigavon Area Hospital, Daisy Hill Hospital, St Luke’s Hospital, Lurgan Hospital and South Tyrone Hospital, as well as independent sector providers and care homes.

Getting involved in our branch means more than attending meetings. Whether you’re organising for better conditions, supporting a colleague or pushing for systemic change, your involvement helps turn shared concerns into collective action.
