Royal College of Nursingnew relationship, new audience

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) represents nurses and nursing, promotes excellence in practice and shapes health policies.

The RCN is the largest professional body and union for nursing in the UK, with 410,000 members who are nurses, midwives, health care support workers and students from across a range of sectors and nursing disciplines. RCN represents nurses and nursing, lobbies government and works collaboratively with other professional bodies to improve the quality of care for children, young people and their families.

For 2015 they will be bringing their popular Children and Young People Nursing Conference alongside the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health Annual Conference. This will allow nurses to benefit from additional learning and networking and for Paediatricians to hear about wider initiatives. This will place an additional 300 + nurses in front of our exhibitors. 3

You can change your practice in many ways to improve practical

care attending the RCPCH conference, and attending topics

of individual interest.

A fantastic opportunity to

share knowledge and experiences with colleagues I

wouldn’t usually be able to access.

Excellent conference with a wide range of learning information.

A brilliant opportunity to learn and be

inspired by the people at the top of the field

Useful to connect with the direction of paediatrics and

the College
