Why you should consider joining the RCN Eastern Board
I have been part of the RCN for many years and in recent years wanted to get my voice heard more and make a positive contribution to the governance of the RCN. I was elected to the Eastern Region board and I am the current chair. I thought I knew how the RCN worked but being a board member has given me greater insight into the governance processes within the RCN and I am now a working part of those governance processes.

An introduction from your RCN UK Student Committee member for the RCN Eastern Region
My name is Francis Miller and, for those who don’t already know me, I am the RCN UK Student Committee member for the Eastern region. As our student members continue to work so hard through the current pandemic situation, I thought I would take the opportunity to tell you a bit more about myself and my background. But I’d also like to urge any students who would like to get in touch with me about any issues they’d like to discuss to please do so.

Supporting you through the COVID-19 pandemic
Since my last message to you at the start of March much has changed, for you as nursing staff and for the public in general. I know you have worked incredibly hard to adapt to new ways of working and to deal with a huge increase in pressure on services, both in hospitals, in care homes and in the community. On behalf of the region, I want to thank you for your dedication and hard work.
