RCN Suffolk Branch
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.

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
Our branch and RCN Congress
All members can attend RCN 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 RCN 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.
