The Tameside branch of the NHSRF is a newly formed branch within the fellowship and is still in the growing and nurturing stage of development. The members are all engaging in this transformation and it is both challenging and rewarding. As a new member you will be active in in this transformation and can make the group as you would like it to be for the future. We all come together every last Monday of the month and start the group with an update of members issues, events and outings and the sharing of information which is of benefit to all of us. This is normally followed by a speaker or some form of entertainment or as the weather improves an outing of interest. The meeting concludes with a catch up of new and old friends over refreshments and we reminisce about the good and bad times we all experienced whilst working within the NHS. We welcome non-NHS members who would like to socialise, chat and engage in relevant activities. Our door charge is ?2.00 per member which covers our room costs and refreshments, we do not charge guests on their first visit. Car parking is free and there is always capacity.
