Our branch annual general meeting (AGM)

Every year, our branch holds its AGM, where we:

  • review our branch activity over the past twelve months
  • map out what we want to achieve over the next year
  • elect the branch committee for the coming year
  • 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 ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Congress

Branches play a key role in ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ Congress. Our members can submit debate topics for the annual conference, which are then discussed and voted on by the wider membership, influencing the ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾'s future work.

All members can attend ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ 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 ¹úÄÚ¾«Æ·ÒÁÈ˾þþþø¾ branches, forums and committees across the UK.

This year's applications for funded voting places are closed. Details of 2026 funded places will be posted here as soon as available.

    From Class Clown to District Nurse ANP: My Dyslexia Journey

    At school, I was the funny one, always causing a distraction. But behind the laughter was a young girl quietly struggling to keep up in the classroom. I wasn’t naturally academic, far from it, but I had a talent for covering my tracks. Humour became my shield, my way of masking the reality: I couldn’t grasp the basics like the others did.
