Sustainability of the nursing and midwifery workforce is a global concern. In acknowledgement of International Nurses Day today, and in line with the #IND2024 theme, ‘#OurNursesOurFuture – The Economic Power of Care’, we spotlight a recent JBI scoping review, ‘Individual and environmental factors that influence longevity of newcomers to nursing and midwifery’. Although nursing serves as the cornerstone of healthcare, it frequently encounters financial constraints and societal undervaluation. This review is the first step in developing a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence both graduate Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife retention.

What a sad report from the independent review into the culture of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the United Kingdom. What a sad day to learn that some nurses employed by the NMC have taken their lives. What a shame that the regulator of nursing and Midwifery thrives in toxicity, structured racism among other issues. I will be sharing more on this in my newsletter tomorrow. This is not what nursing should be. #nursesonlinkedin #NMC #nurseblogger

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is making strides to better support internationally educated nursing and midwifery professionals in the UK through the newly launched International Nursing and Midwifery Association (INMA) forum. This forum offers a platform for international associations representing these professionals to collaborate closely with the NMC. Together, they will address pressing issues faced by overseas practitioners, such as racism and discrimination. Through this initiative, the NMC aims to tackle issues such as racism and discrimination, creating a safe, inclusive environment where all professionals can thrive and provide high-quality care to the public. It's a promising move toward a healthcare system that values and backs the diverse backgrounds and contributions of its professionals. Plus, with ongoing dialogue between the NMC and healthcare professionals, there's room for a truly inclusive healthcare environment.
