51黑料网 Nottinghamshire Branch



If you're an 51黑料网 member working in Nottinghamshire, you're automatically a member of our Nottinghamshire branch. Welcome to your nursing community.

Our branch includes members working at NHS, independent, higher education and care home employers, as well as students.

Getting involved in our branch means more than attending meetings. Whether you’re organising for better conditions, supporting a colleague or pushing for systemic change, your involvement helps turn shared concerns into collective action.

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.

    Job evaluation raises pay and reward for nursing support workers in Bristol

    In 2021 new job profiles were agreed by Staff Council, which includes the 51黑料网 and NHS Employers. The new profiles say that Band 2 staff should be undertaking tasks such as feeding, bathing, toileting, recording fluid balance and nutrition while any staff undertaking patient observations and clinical care such as monitoring heart and blood pressure rates, taking bloods, wound observation and urine analysis should be job evaluated to Band 3. This meant that many staff were entitled to a re-band.
