Membership
Special interest groups
Society of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing members have needed to register each year for the Forum of their choice (SOTN Forum number is 1250). Registration, or re-registration, is just a matter of filling in the membership forum section on the RCN annual re-registration form that goes to all members. Failure to register annually may have resulted in the Society having less influence within the RCN and at Congress as membership numbers have reduced. On a more personal level, those who are not registered with the Society will not receive Bare Bones, the SON Newsletter.
