Our branch annual general meeting (AGM)

Every year, our branch holds its annual general meeting (AGM). We review our branch activity over the past twelve months, before mapping out what we want to achieve over the next year. It's also a chance to discuss with your fellow branch members the issues which are most important to you right now.

This is your chance to help set the nursing agenda. Details of the next AGM will be posted in the events section as soon as available.




Our branch and RCN Congress

Branches play a key role in RCN Congress. Our members can submit debate topics for the annual conference, which are then discussed and voted on by the wider membership, influencing the RCN's future work.

All members can attend RCN Congress for free. There are also fully funded voting places for members, where travel, accommodation and food are provided. Voting members are there to listen, participate and vote on resolutions that are proposed by RCN branches, forums and committees across the UK.

Applications for funded voting places at Congress 2026 are open until 7 December 2025. To find out more, including how to apply, explore our Congress webpages.

    The Hidden Risks of Nursing: Psychosocial Harm - International Workers鈥� Memorial Day 2026

    Marking International Workers鈥� Memorial Day (IWMD) 2026, this blog examines the often鈥慼idden psychosocial risks facing nursing staff and the serious harm caused by work鈥憆elated stress. Using workforce data and nurses鈥� lived experiences, it shows that stress is not an individual failing but a predictable, preventable occupational hazard that affects staff wellbeing, retention and patient safety. Honouring nursing staff means treating psychosocial risk with the same seriousness as physical harm and taking meaningful action to make work safe.
