¿ìèÊÓÆµ Suffolk Branch



If you're an ¿ìèÊÓÆµ member working in Suffolk, you're automatically a member of our Suffolk 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.

All branch events

Our branch annual general meeting (AGM)

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

  • review our branch activity over the past twelve 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. Details of the next AGM will be posted in the events section as soon as available.

Our branch and ¿ìèÊÓÆµ Congress

Branches play a key role in ¿ìèÊÓÆµ Congress. Our members can submit debate topics for the annual conference, which are then discussed and voted on by the wider membership, influencing the ¿ìèÊÓÆµ's future work.

All members can attend ¿ìèÊÓÆµ 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 ¿ìèÊÓÆµ 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.

    Connecting with the Eating Disorders team: Insights and learning at Warneford Hospital

    One of my real pleasures is spending time visiting members at their place of work. It's a great opportunity to hear about their issues, find out about their work and use it as an opportunity to share Branch and SE Board updates.
