The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Congress is a key annual event in the nursing calendar and provides a forum for nursing practitioners to meet, learn, develop and share nursing practice as well as influence nursing and healthcare policy.
Each year, the congress debates around 25 subjects, all submitted by members, which cover clinical, staffing, financial, social and political areas. These issues are often reported in the media and lead to wide-ranging work carried out by the RCN. Keynote speakers include health professionals, politicians, campaigners and other influential figures.
The exhibition offers the chance to meet employers, universities, recruitment agencies and healthcare providers, and learn about the latest innovations relating to the workplace. There are also networking and social events for all delegates.
