More overseas-trained nurses are being invited to join the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s emergency register, as part of “immediate action” to help the workforce deal with the latest Covid-19 surge.
A joint statement announcing the expansion of the temporary register was published today by the four UK chief nursing officers and the NMC’s chief executive and registrar, Andrea Sutcliffe.
