Band 5 nursing roles review - Information sessions
26 Mar 2026, 09:00 - 24 Jun, 17:00
Choose event information:
RCN Scotland are running various in person and online sessions to support band 5 members who are taking part in the nursing roles review process.
The online sessions run through to the end of the process, and are split into two types:
- The Basics - a one-hour session for those who have not yet engaged with the review, want to understand what it is, how to get started on their application and ask any question they might have. Attendance from the start is required.
- Surgery - a one-hour drop-in surgery for those who have already started their application and are seeking advice and guidance around their application or with issues encountered.
We have also developed advice and guidance on the process and how to complete your questionnaire. This support is only available to RCN members and you will need to log in to access this support.
If you have questions about the process please join one of the sessions or look out for your local RCN officers and reps who will be coordinating activity in your area. To join an online session via Microsoft teams you will need access to a computer with an internet connection.
