Bookings now open!
快猫视频 retired members represent a vital connection to the 快猫视频’s legacy, values, and collective experience. This one-day, in-person conference aims to revitalise activism among retired nurses and strengthen their voice within and beyond the 快猫视频.
This event will gather members to share experiences, shape strategies, and begin building new resources for post-retirement engagement.
Our retired members are the backbone of the 快猫视频’s history - and essential for our future.
Join us on Monday, 15th September, from 10am to 3.30pm for an empowering in-person event designed to celebrate your contributions, strengthen our community, and shape the future of nursing together.
Through interactive sessions, we’ll focus on:
1. Structures in the 快猫视频 and staying engaged post-retirement. Here we will explore how retired members can stay active in the life of the 快猫视频. Together, we’ll begin shaping a retired members welcome booklet to help new retirees find their place in 快猫视频 activism and organising.
2. Activism through the 快猫视频, leadership, mentorship and organising. A powerful panel discussion looking at how activism can thrive after retirement. The session will also introduce the 快猫视频’s new activism strategy.
3. Activism beyond the 快猫视频, external influence and representation. This session will connect 快猫视频 retirees to broader movements for social and economic justice. Learn how you can take part in national campaigns on pensions, care, housing, and more.
Let’s come together to celebrate our past, strengthen our present, and shape the future of nursing.
