Conferences and opportunity to meet up

[eric]

Received 2 emails today about conferences in London and Dublin and thought it good opportunity to be able to have a get together.
- Also opportunity for a member to present paper or research at conference
- Perhaps "nursingbadges" and/or "schoolsofnursing" groups could present a Poster to advertise websites and let people know about groups
- Could meet up and have a general talk about badges, talk about future themes, trends or generally about web sites.
- I'm hoping to go to London one at moment, anyone know cheap place to stay in London for w/e (besides park bench)?
- Would love to hear everyones view about either conferences or meeting up (including silent members)

1. RCN History of Nursing Society Seminar
A timetable for the future: learning from history
Friday 14th November 2008
Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Sq, London W1G 0RN
This is an opportunity to discuss oral histories of present day nurses covering care and teaching. Our keynote presentations will address areas of care that have seen much change and will continue to challenge in the future. We aim to tease out good practice and reject those examples which have nothing but custom and practice to recommend their inclusion.
This event is an opportunity for you to meet colleagues, explore different ways of working and formulate your own ideas.
The event programme includes
Nursing ethics since 1948
Spirituality and nursing practice
Training for the NHS
From task allocation to individual patient care (1962-1989)
Supernumery status
What about joint training?
The way forward
Seminar fees start from only £35!
