title: Royal college of nursing's annual international nursing research conference.
abstract: The Royal College of Nursing's annual international nursing research conference has gone from strength to strength in recent years, attracting around 400 delegates. The event is organised under the auspices of the RCN Research Society, in partnership with their appointed RCN events manager and the RCN R&D Co-ordinating Centre. Now an annual international event, there is a slow but steady increase in the number of international delegates. The principal aim of the conference is to share the best in nursing and health care research. It is always an excellent networking opportunity. A secondary aim is to nurture and support the next generation of researchers.
