QNI chief exec Dr Crystal Oldman CBE EdD RN RHV QN FRCN has said the decision to put back the regulation of advanced practice to 2027-28 is disappointing

#AdvancedPractice plays an important role in the delivery of care to people. It is important the public understands the importance of this role. We agree with Dr Crystal Oldman CBE EdD RN RHV QN FRCN it is disappointing to hear the news the regulation has been put back to 2027-2028.

I am archiving my X account and moving to bluesky only. I am unable to engage on a platform owned by a person who promotes fascism. Please find me on [email protected] 🙏 I hope more nurses will follow too. The Queen's Nursing Institute will be closing our X a/c & moving to bluesky too 🙏
