We represent nurses, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ support workers, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ students and midwives across Scotland.
We campaign on the issues that matter most to you, influence health policy and support your growth with quality-assured learning and development opportunities.
Discover your branch
Getting involved with your local branch is one of the most powerful ways to stand up for yourself, your colleagues and the people in your care.
Branches bring members’ voices to the forefront. They play a vital role in shaping the direction we take together, as a union and professional college.
