Become an RCN Learning Rep
Find out more about becoming a learning rep, you'll support the learning and career development of RCN members in the workplace. “All in all, being a Rep is demanding but ultimately rewarding work… [and] is incredibly high on my list of achievements and I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I’m lucky that I have tremendous support from my line manager and my Branch colleagues, including all other reps, and our Libraries and Information Officer, all of whom make the role that little bit easier!” – Janette Astles (Lothian & Borders Learning Rep and UK Learning Rep Committee Rep for Scotland)
“Wake Up, Slackers!” The Great Nursing Registration Controversy
This exhibition commemorates 100 years of nursing registration in the UK by delving into the heated arguments that characterised the registration debate. A century later, the issue of safe staffing once again made history with the ground-breaking Health and Care (Staffing) (Scotland) Act 2019 - the first legislation in the UK to set out requirements for safe staffing across both health and care services and most clinical professions.
