Key objectives
The key objectives of the RCN Yorkshire and the Humber Regional Retired Members' Network are to:
- Consult on national and regional policies, to support and reflect on relevant nursing and social policy issues.
- Work with the regional communications manager in relation to media campaigns, e.g. lobbying.
- Develop close links with the RCN Yorkshire and the Humber Board and branches to ensure integration.
- Develop close links with RCN officers to contribute to education, development and training, recruitment & retention, and the equality and diversity agendas.
- Establish, where appropriate, working groups, in order to progress issues outside of Network meetings, that will be reported back for discussion and agreement.
- Ensure appropriate communication mechanisms so that information is cascaded to and from the Network in a consistent and timely manner (National RCN Retired Members' Network, the National Pensioners Convention both regionally and nationally, RCN Yorkshire and the Humber Board and branches, appropriate RCN national groups, e.g. RCN Older People's Forum, RCN Congress, etc).
- Keep abreast of developments in respect of current issues as they affect nursing and retired RCN members.
- Develop, where possible, links with the local/regional health organisations, e.g. health and wellbeing boards, appropriate local authority scrutiny committees, healthwatch and clinical commissioning groups in the region.
