Nursing Workforce Standards
Nursing is the largest safety critical profession in healthcare and it is vital that the right staff, with the right skills are in the right place, at the right time.
The RCN's Nursing Workforce Standards are the first national blueprint for tackling the nursing staff shortage levels across the UK.
They set the standard for excellent patient care and nursing support in all settings, and all UK countries.
See also our case studies that demonstrate how these standards have been used in various workplace settings.
