How to get active with the RCN
If you're an RCN member, do you know you can be one of our accredited representatives or help lead your RCN branch?

Our representatives receive time off from their regular work without losing any pay to support and represent fellow RCN members in their workplace. Whilst, our branch officers help organise the RCN’s activities in your area. They are a vital link between the College and our grass roots members. Each of these roles offers you an opportunity to develop yourself and your career. To find out more, call RCN Direct on 0345 772 6100.

Interested in campaigning?
We strive to improve working conditions for our members and care for patients, and we campaign on health care and employment issues affecting nurses and nursing. Find out about our campaigns and see how you can get involved on the RCN website.
