Yesterday, one of our Committee spent the day with The RCN helping interview for a senior leadership role. This involvement of members in organisational decision-making enables co-production that ensures our professional body continues to evolve & our voice within it strong.💙

Maybe one for some of my Welsh Ambulance RN colleagues....
