Spotlight on nursing and midwifery report
This report shares insights that can improve learning and practice in nursing and midwifery. The report shows that growth of the UK nursing and midwifery workforce has been reliant on international recruitment. Some international recruits have reported: not feeling respected or treated the same as colleagues; racist and derogatory language; and feeling misled during recruitment processes. It finds that preceptorship programmes, which are designed to support new professionals into their workplaces, are not being delivered consistently, with wide variation in the way they’re organised and supervised by different employers.
