RCN Congress
14 May 2009
Held at Harrogate International Centre
The theme for this year's event is Counting on Care and its choice reflects how nursing is key to both public health and to service delivery. Patients count on the skills and compassion of nurses; the Government counts on their hard work and dedication; and communities count on their professional expertise and spirit of public service. We’ll be broadcasting all plenary sessions from Harrogate live and all the content will be archived on both our site and the RCN.
