The Chief Nursing Officers tell us what professionalism means to them.
Charlotte McArdle, Chief Nursing Officer for Northern Ireland
“I believe passionately in the nursing and midwifery professions and the difference they can make to people’s lives. That is why I was delighted to lead the work to develop a professionalism framework on behalf of the four countries’ CNOs."
Jean White, Chief Nursing Officer for Wales
“We engage with people from all walks of life at every point in their lifespan from birth, at the most trying time of people’s lives, and at the time of their death. I trust the professionalism report will engage you in a conversation about what it means to be a professional nurse or midwife”
