ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Oxfordshire Branch



If you're an ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ member working in Oxfordshire, you're automatically a member of our Oxfordshire 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.

It was fantastic to welcome seventeen attendees to the first face to face event of 2024 on 2nd October. Despite some last-minute changes to the agenda it proved to be a full and engaging day and we'd like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and willingness to join in.

Our guest speakers included Adele Williams from the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Activist Academy who spoke about the various ways we can support activism. It led to a helpful discussion about preparing for Congress 2025. Dr Sam Donohue, Assistant Director from the NMC spoke about the culture review the emerging changes, including significant investment to radically improve fitness to practice. Sam thanked members for their input and would consider how the issues raised could be used to inform ongoing work within the NMC.

Delegates heard about the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ’s Professional Framework which highlighted the work undertaken including the new definition of nursing. Rian Gleave ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ Lead Nurse, Independent Health & Social Care for the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ produced a film which will be shared at a future branch event.
   
During the AGM the chair and secretary’s reports were presented and summarised a variety of activities undertaken over the past year. A copy of the branch annual plan was handed to branch members. Please do look at the plan and forward any comments. All of the documents shared at the event can be found on the branch page.

Theresa Curry ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ full time Officer sought nominations for the branch executive roles and there is a full team poised to take the branch forward from 1 January 2025 - exciting times! 

A huge thank you to the members who were able to join the day and for participating.

Our branch annual general meeting (AGM)

Every year, our branch holds its AGM, where we:

  • review our branch activity over the past 12 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

This is your chance to help set the nursing agenda. Our AGM is held in September or October and 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.
