NMC supports social care placement strategy for nursing students

Commenting on the strategy, Paul Rees MBE, NMC Chief Executive and Registrar, said:

“We are grateful to have contributed to this strategy, which places a much-needed spotlight on social care nursing – a lifeline for people and communities across the UK. It widens access to high-quality practice learning experiences, where students can build the knowledge and skills needed for 21st-century care.

“Learning in varied social care settings gives students valuable insight into the realities of the role and the vital difference social care nursing makes to people’s lives.

“We look forward to working with our partners to support the implementation of the strategy. Together, we can ensure future nursing professionals are fully equipped to deliver safe, effective, person-centred care, wherever it’s needed.”
