Nursing
“Nurses and midwives are at the heart of delivering the high-quality, compassionate care that everyone wants. They play a key role in determining the quality of health and social care and enabling people to make personal choices in a range of health, social and community settings.” (Summary report of Prime Minister’s Commission on the future of nursing and midwifery in England, 2010).
Nursing is a career that is exciting, demanding, and highly rewarding. As a qualified nurse you will deliver expert nursing care to people and be a key link in the clinical team. The career pathway for a qualified nurse is diverse and evolving to reflect the changing health needs of populations. Most nurses leaving us are swiftly employed by local health services where their professionalism, developed through their preparation, is highly regarded.
