The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust in conjunction with the Royal College of Nursing’s Black Country branch, are running a Nursing Conference 'Update on professional issues in nursing and impact on quality' on 15th July 2014.
The first event of its kind in the Black Country area, this free conference is a perfect opportunity for registered nurses and health care assistants to update their clinical and professional knowledge and their appreciation of their own accountability.
In the face of unprecedented pressure on health services and critical scrutiny of nursing practice at all levels, the conference is designed to support staff to deliver the high standards of patient care that everyone wants to see.
Conference highlights
- The Cavendish Review on the future of the HCA role – Kay Fawcett, Strategic Adviser, Health Education England

- NMC case study: Code of Conduct and fitness to practise – Pamaldeep Sandhu, Regulatory Lawyer, Royal College of Nursing
There will also be an opportunity on the day to talk informally with the Trust's senior nurses about career opportunities and vacancies within the Trust.
The conference is co-hosted by Cheryl Etches OBE, Chief Nursing Officer, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust and Paul Vaughan, Regional Director, RCN and is expected to have around 100 delegates, some of whom will have joined the Trust from the recent overseas recruitment campaign.
