Royal College of Nursing Congress (Virtual)
Congress 2021
RCN Congress 2021 will now take place from 18 to 20 September.
As previously agreed the Congress fringe and exhibition will take place online only. However, the Congress business agenda – the resolutions and matters for discussion – will be organised to allow for a mix of in-person and online participation.
In practical terms, the RCN has invested in an online platform so all members will be able to participate. However, voting members will also be able to attend in person at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool in a safe and manageable way, should they wish to do so and if the rules at the time permit.
The situation with COVID-19 restrictions and large gatherings continues to change. It may be possible to offer places to non-voting members in Liverpool once the situation becomes more clear, dependent upon what is possible at the venue nearer the time.
RCN Council and the Agenda Committee believe this is the best and safest option for 2021 and ensures that Congress can be delivered as a fully virtual event if needed.
Voting will take place digitally, both for members attending in person and online. Help and support will be provided for voting members to do this.
Please note there will be no organised social events in Liverpool this year.
