Publisher's Synopsis
Can the NHS safely rely on recruiting from the pool of non-working nurses to fill vacancies and cover a shortfall in the supply of new qualifiers? Using data from a national survey of 6000 registered nurses, this report provides an up-to-date independent assessment of the UK nursing labour market. It contends that the pool is smaller than previous estimates suggested, and that the NHS needs to work harder to bring more registered nurses back into nursing.
