Abstract

District nurses have a key role in healthcare delivery for local communities. Recruitment, retention, education and training are key to ensuring a competent professional district nursing workforce. The importance of ensuring that district nurses are actively engaged in supporting pre-registration nursing programmes to showcase district nursing as a career and support workforce development must not be underestimated. The Nursing and Midwifery Council is currently undertaking a review of pre-registration nursing and midwifery practice learning. The review is being co-produced with key stakeholders, students, service users, practice learning partners and universities, to answer five key lines of enquiry which have been identified form the discovery work presented to the council in January 2025. This article provides an overview of the work and encourages people to join the community of interest to support the review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
