Verbatim
“Speaking up is fundamental to creating a culture of safety in health and care.”
“Protecting the title will help prevent its misuse, giving the public assurance that anyone calling themselves a nurse meets the high professional standards expected of the profession.”
“Together, these findings show a workforce that is larger and more diverse than ever, but one where growth is slowing and future supply cannot be taken for granted.”
“Our findings are a stark reminder of the urgent need to tackle unacceptable behaviours that drive people out of work they love.”
