It was a big day last week presenting my Ten Minute Rule Bill to #ProtectNurse. ๐Ÿ’™ I was shocked that anyone can call themselves a nurse! So, my Bill would prevent misuse of the title - enhancing patient safety & ensuring respect for registered nurses. ICYMI, my recap โช๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

Super chuffed Wes Streeting And the The Labour Party gov have listened and acted to protect the title of nurse. I along with many others have been campaigning for years for this change. This is the difference power makes. I'll post more tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜ gov.uk/government/newโ€ฆ

On #InternationalNursesDay2025 it's great news Department of Health and Social Care has announced the title 'nurse' will be protected in law: reassurance for the public & #socialcare nurses that only those legally permitted to use the title can do so. Read my blog for more updates: bit.ly/44yC6ni

I welcome the news that the protection of the nurse title will be further strengthened in law. The trust people place in registered nurses is based on our rigorous training and education which gives us the skills and knowledge to deliver high quality, safe and personalised care.
