Forums and networks

Forums and networks are groups of ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ members who work or have an interest in a particular area of professional nursing practice.

All forums provide you with the opportunity to keep up-to-date with development in your field, contribute in consultations, network with your peers and explore career development opportunities.

You can join more than one forum, but have to nominate one as your first choice, as this can impact on the power of a forum by influencing its voting rights at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Congress.

Networks bring members together in different ways – sometimes in a region or country, sometimes through a forum, sometimes by staff bringing members together, or members finding each other.
