ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Nottinghamshire Branch



If you're an ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ 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 ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Congress

Branches play a key role in ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Congress. Our members can submit debate topics for the annual conference, which are then discussed and voted on by the wider membership, influencing the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ's future work.

All members can attend ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ 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 ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ 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.

    Parkinson's specialist nurses - still crucial?

    The first Parkinson's specialist nurse (PSN) post was created in Cornwall in 1987, and 37 years later, there are around 515 PSN's in the UK. This blog takes a look at Parkinson's awareness month, and why, if you see a PSN post advertised, and you fit the criteria, you should totally apply.

    How can patient blood management help improve women's health and wellbeing?

    In the UK iron deficiency anaemia in women of a childbearing age is considered a moderate public health risk by the World Health Organization. A goal was set to reduce this number by 50 per cent by 2025. Are we on track to meet that goal? What can we as nurses or midwives do to help?

    Interconnected challenges

    We may not be in the European Union, but the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ is still very much part of the European nursing community. One way of ensuring this remains the case is through our membership of the European Federation of Nurses Associations (EFN).
