More ways to get involved
Discover your branch
Getting involved with your local branch is one of the most powerful ways to stand up for yourself, your colleagues and the people in your care.
Branches bring members’ voices to the forefront. They play a vital role in shaping the direction we take together, as a union and professional college.
Watch our hustings for the Scotland seat on RCN Council
As voting opens in the 2026 RCN Council elections, this event was members' opportunity, as RCN nurse members, to hear from and ask questions of the three candidates standing for election to the Scotland seat on RCN Council.
How we influence change
We work with our members and with the Scottish government, political parties and elected representatives to put nursing at the top of the political agenda.
Our goal is to make sure your voice is heard by decision makers to get the best outcomes for you and the people you care for.
