Retired members
Stay connected
Remain an integral part of the RCN and continue to contribute experience and expertise. Here you’ll find some of the services and benefits available to you at a reduced cost as an RCN retired member.
From 1 May 2022 two changes have been made to the retired membership category:
- Regulations will now be amended to enable members who retire with less than half their term of office remaining, and who stay in a full membership payment plan, to serve out the remaining terms of office even if their retirement means they no longer meet the eligibility criteria.
- The current requirement to be retired from all forms of employment will be changed to ‘to be retired from all forms of nursing employment’ to receive the reduced retired membership fee.

RCN National Pensioners Convention (NPC) Network
By joining the RCN National Pensioners Convention (NPC) Network you can keep up to date with the activities of your elected members who are representing you at the NPC.
You can also find out more about NPC and its work to promote the welfare and interests of all pensioners, as a way of securing dignity, respect and financial security in retirement. Network members receive regular newsletters from their elected representatives and access to the network’s Facebook group for information sharing, discussion and debate.
RCN NPC Network Facebook Group
RCN National Pensioners Convention (NPC) Network Facebook group has been established to facilitate engagement with members of the network and to provide a place to exchange views and ideas.
Since retiring I have the time to go to the cinema more and at a cheaper cost using RCNXtra. I keep up-to-date with the Bulletin and participate in the History of Nursing Group.
