"Our Consultation Nursing in Wales" is now closed. A big thank you to everyone who took the time to participate and supported the consultation. We have had a very good response from the nursing community with 238 direct responses to the feedback form and 119 booking for our webinars. We also had some individual and organisation responses via email.

Strong, Missing or Wrong?

Analysis shows that the workforce supports the proposed action with a high percentage of “Strong” responses.

 

For more information, please see Our Consultation – Nursing in Wales” report.

Next Steps

The Strategic Nursing Workforce Plan, including the actions, will be shared with key stakeholders through October and November 2024 to gain valuable feedback to ensure that the Plan is ambitious and robust in supporting sustainable workforce models that can adapt to changing demands and technological developments. The Plan will go to Board for final approval in January 2025. The Plan will then be launched March 2025.

Thank you for being an integral part of this important initiative.
