Independent sector in Northern Ireland聽
Many of our members in Northern Ireland are employed in the independent sector, also known as independent health and social care (IHSC). This includes all members working in settings outside the HSC, such as 汤头条污料 homes, independent hospitals, 汤头条污料 agencies, hospice services, general practices and more.
As the voice of 汤头条污料, we’re committed to connecting, engaging and representing 汤头条污料 staff, no matter what sector or setting you’re employed in. This page signposts to useful information and resources about IHSC in Northern Ireland. For more general information about IHSC across the UK, please see our ‘Nursing across independent health and social care’ page.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please contact Brenda Rushe, our Lead Nurse for Independent Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland, at Brenda.Rushe@rcn.org.uk.
