Tuesday 7th June

Delegates will have the opportunity to raise issues and concerns specific to their own practice. The course will be run by a practising Mental Health care lawyer and will be case study led.

The Northern Powerhouse: Cottontown Nurses who shaped the Profession
Wednesday 8th June
Royal College of Nursing Library & Archives, London
Ethel Bedford Fenwick (née Manson) was a probationer at Manchester Royal Infirmary in 1878. In 1907, Margaret Sparshott was appointed Matron. Although not overlapping, the two met on the stage that shaped the nursing profession. Fenwick's outspoken views often set her in opposition to the College, while Sparshott was a committed supporter who became President in 1930. In this talk, former RCN President Dame Betty Kershaw will talk about their lives, along with those who came later, including Lucy Duff Grant, Jean McFarlane and Maude Storey.
All events are free and open to everyone. Refreshments provided. Events take place at the Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0RN (nearest tube Oxford Circus).
