Supporting the redeployment of Nursing and Midwifery Students (and other Healthcare Professionals)

Ruth May, the Chief Nursing Officer and her team have been working closely with the NMC and nursing and midwifery leaders across the health and care system to identify key groups that could expand our existing nursing workforce at this challenging time.  To support this, the NMC is permitting third-year undergraduate and second-year postgraduate nursing students to undertake paid, employed roles with NHS providers that will qualify as the final six-month clinical placement for their training programme.

We are working through the local process for deploying these groups of learners, in partnership with nursing leads, education teams, Health Education England and local universities.  If you have any questions or concerns then please email contact@joinourdorset.nhs.uk

We are expecting that this approach will also be applied to other Healthcare Professions, however at this stage national guidance has not been published.
