Case studies demonstrating the value of nursing

The RCN is committed to demonstrating the value of nursing and building the capacity and capability of nurses to apply the principles of economic assessment in practice.

Here we showcase a range of case studies developed by nurses to demonstrate the value of nurse-led innovations and services. All of these case studies were completed in part fulfilment of a six month leadership development programme. They illustrate how the principles of economic assessment can be applied in practice to demonstrate value.

Demonstrating Value

The RCN Demonstrating Value programme equips frontline staff with the skills, tools, and techniques to secure commitment for their service and support for ongoing development. Chose between the one-day masterclass or commission a full programme.
