National Nursing Excellence Show
Online Event 25th August 2021, 9:00am – 26th August 2021, 2:00am
Nursing staff are working in an environment which is under enormous pressure to meet rising demand while struggling to recruit and retain the right staff with the right skills. The Covid-19 pandemic has put extra pressure on nurses and severely impacted work-related stress and mental health problems. In 2020 there were approximately 660,600 nurses employed in the UK. This has increased from around 541,000 nurses in 2010.
In the year to April 2020, the number of nurses in the NHS increased by 13,502. The Government has made a commitment to recruit 50,000 more nurses by the end of this Parliament. The NHS Long Term Plan aims to respond to changes in society and health needs and nursing staff have a pivotal part to play in its delivery.
This national event will bring together the key issues and organisations to provide a vital opportunity to discuss the key issues facing the profession. It will examine how to tackle workforce issues such as attracting more nurses to the profession, developing new roles and making safe staffing decisions.
There will be also be case studies on a wide range of topics including how technology is being incorporated into nursing practice and the role of nurses in delivering integrated care.
