Regional Events
BACCN Events by Region
BACCN is made up of 9 regions covering the whole of the UK. Each Region has its own Regional Committee of BACCN members who provide support - educational and otherwise - to critical care nurses across their region. This includes the organisation and execution of both face to face and online study events which are available to members and non-members.

Regional Awards
Awards were presented at the 2025 BACCN Conference in Blackpool, and the winners were...
Study Event of the Year: "Critical Care Essentials: Maternity Matters" - Welsh Committee
This event exemplified the quality and excellence that the Welsh Committee consistently delivers. It brought together a knowledgeable, multi-professional team to explore a wide range of crucial topics within enhanced maternity care.
One delegate described it as “a full but well-organised, engaging, and highly relevant day, covering important issues such as staff and patient perspectives, grief and baby loss, psychological harm, and vicarious trauma.”
Regional Committee Member of the Year 2025 & Lifetime Contribution Award - Northern Committee - Sue Snelson
This year’s Regional Committee Member of the Year and recipient of our Lifetime Contribution Award is not only a dedicated leader but also one of the founding members of BACCN. Over the decades, she has tirelessly supported the Northern Region and championed our profession with passion and commitment.
Her vision and steady presence have helped shape this organization from its earliest days to the vibrant community we are today. It’s fitting that we honour her remarkable service and lasting impact during this milestone anniversary.
Please join us in congratulating Sue Snelson - a true pillar of BACCN and an inspiration to us all.
Rising Star Committe of the Year 2025 - Scottish Region
This next award is a recognition of not just growth, but true resilience and renewed purpose. This committee has undergone an extraordinary transformation. Not long ago, the region had all but disappeared from the national stage. But rather than remaining dormant, a passionate group of individuals came together with determination to rebuild from the ground up.
In a remarkably short time, they have re-established a strong presence, organised successful study events, and reconnected with their professional community - all with the energy and focus of a region that’s clearly here to stay.
Please join us in celebrating the incredible efforts of the Scottish Regional Committee - our well-deserved Rising Star Region of the Year.
Most Outstanding Region of the Year 2025 - Northern Region
This prestigious recognition is awarded to a regional committee that exemplifies leadership, innovation, and a deep commitment to our values. It’s not just about what’s been achieved - but how it’s impacted people, practice, and progress.
Their dedication reflects the very best of what the BACCN stands for - and their work will no doubt inspire us well into the next 40 years.
Please join us in congratulating the Northern Regional Committee, winners of the Most Outstanding Region Award!
Many congratulations to our worthy winners and we look forward to another year of innovative and engaging study events!
