The Royal College of Nursing has launched a new learning hub for the nursing profession.
RCN Learn enables access to quality-assured educational resources to support clinical and professional development.
The content sits behind a secure log-in. According to which category a person is in, they may have limited access to specific resources:
Registered users can access free core resources including standards and frameworks, while RCN members can access hundreds of clinical and non-clinical learning resources. NMC registrants can access a purpose-built tool to help build, store and track their evidence for revalidation quickly.
Paid-for resources include RCN Leadership programmes, RCN Infection Prevention and Control, RCN Leadership in Sustainability, the RCN Cultural Ambassador Programmes, RCN Leadership in Physical and Mental Health Outcomes, and RCNi products.
General Secretary & Chief Executive Pat Cullen said:
“This is an exciting new development in our commitment to providing the very best evidence-based learning resources for nursing staff.
“For nursing to keep advancing, the true potential in every one of us must be reached. RCN Learn will help support members to realise that potential and attain their career goals. I hope it will empower nursing staff to embed an education and learning culture within their care delivery.”
