Our retired members are the backbone of the RCN’s history. Join us on Monday, 15th September, from 11am – 3pm for an empowering day to build solidarity and action.This is an opportunity to unite, share experiences, and take our collective power forward to help the fight for the future of nursing. Whether you're retired or nearing retirement, this gathering is for those who have dedicated their lives to the care of others and now seek to ensure that our voices continue to shape the future of healthcare.
Programme and Learning outcomes
Retired members from across the RCN have been asked for their input to shape this. We will update this page with a full programme once it has been developed.
