RCN Cardiff and The Vale Branch
Our branch includes members working at NHS, independent, higher education and care home employers, as well as students.
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.

This is your chance to help set the nursing agenda. Details of the next AGM will be posted in the events section as soon as available.
