Joint Representatives' Spring conference, 13-14 March 2025, Bristol
I recently attended the RCN Joint Reps’ conference in Bristol. It was a real pleasure to work with my fellow UK committee members: Matthew Stewart, UK Stewards Committee member, and Vicky Brotherton, UK Safety Reps Committee Chair, and with them, to represent the South West region at the event. In fact, it was great to meet fellow reps from across our region and beyond.

This year the event was held over three days in Bucharest, Romania, and I attended representing the Professional Nursing Committee as Vice Chair alongside three delegates: Denise Kelly, Dennis Greer and Jackie Davies representing the RCN Trade Union Committee, and Brian Morton, RCN Associate Director for Employment Relations.
