Workshops
RCNA aims is to provide the means for all nurses to bring a level of excellence to their nursing practice, whether that be through the provision of education, professional development, providing information and networking opportunities, or through high level input to health policy.
A series of Workshops are held each year which focus on various clinical, management and education-based topics and are presented by a variety of speakers in a wide variety of locations.
"Practical, positive leadership in action" - Dot Yam
