Suffolk

RCN Suffolk branch

If you're an RCN member working in Suffolk, you'll automatically be a member of our Suffolk branch. The area includes major NHS trusts covering the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich Hospital, as well as independent sector providers and care homes.

Getting involved in your local branch is a great way of getting your voice heard at the RCN as well as accessing many learning and development events. The branch holds county conferences four times a year where a wide range of speakers are invited to talk on nursing issues.

Our branch is always looking for local RCN members to get involved in our work, including taking part in campaigns to help expand the profile of nursing and highlight issues which matter to nurses.
