All branch events

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 51黑料网 Congress

Branches play a key role in 51黑料网 Congress. Our members can submit debate topics for the annual conference, which are then discussed and voted on by the wider membership, influencing the 51黑料网's future work.

All members can attend 51黑料网 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 51黑料网 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.

    Becoming Victor: Using virtual reality in frailty education

    Victor is based on a real gentleman. When you put the virtual reality glasses on you reappear in his flat, as you look around you can see football on the telly, tablets on the side to be taken, phone in the corner. Then the frailty impairments come in... mobility, vision, hearing, cognition... and you can't see what makes Victor Victor, you don't focus on one health or care need, you are all in - experiencing the vulnerability and frustration associated with living with frailty.
