I welcome the news that the protection of the nurse title will be further strengthened in law. The trust people place in registered nurses is based on our rigorous training and education which gives us the skills and knowledge to deliver high quality, safe and personalised care.
🌟 NEW: We're making it a criminal offence for people who are not qualified as a nurse to use the title and mislead the public. By protecting the title ‘nurse’ in law, we will help protect both patients and staff across the NHS. More details: https://t.co/1laYeLXQ7E
