GLK Virtual Congress will take place daily from Sunday 7- Friday 12 June.
The schedule is growing daily so ideally keep an eye on the branch social media pages (Twitter @glk_rcn Facebook: RCN Greater Liverpool and Knowsley branch) to keep up to date with what’s happening.
Most of the events are taking place on Zoom with some over Microsoft Teams. Once you have accessed the event for the first time you will be able to see what’s happening each day and catch up on anything you’ve missed.
Here’s the outline schedule and how to take part:
