RCN comments on flexible training courses
Responding to the announcement from the Department of Health and Social Care on the education of health care professionals following the UK’s exit from the European Union, Susan Masters, Director of Nursing, Policy and Practice for the Royal College of Nursing, said:
“Standards of education must remain high and we will look closely at how proposals on flexibility can achieve this.
“When every profession in health care is facing shortages, the key to filling jobs and keeping patients safe is to attract more people overall as well as allow existing professionals to move around.
“The forthcoming Budget is an opportunity to put money into a full package of support for England’s nursing students.”
