CHIEF EXECUTIVE & GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE RCN,• GOO.GL/WZGTTE • THE GOVERNMENT’S DECISION TO

REMOVE FUNDING FOR PRE-REGISTRATION NURSE EDUCATION IN ENGLAND, REPLACING NHS BURSARIES WITH STUDENT LOANS, IS A HIGHLY RISKY DECISION AND ONE WHICH MAY EXACERBATE THE PRESSURE ON STAFFING NUMBERS EVEN MORE. MANY OF OUR CONCERNS ABOUT MATURE STUDENTS AND GRADUATES HAVE BEEN PARTLY ADDRESSED AND THE INFORMATION YOU ALL PROVIDED ENABLED THAT TO HAPPEN. BUT THESE PROPOSALS ARE UNTESTED AND MAY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ENTERING OUR PROFESSION.• THEN IF WE COMBINE THAT DECISION WITH RISKS ABOUT THE NEW

NURSING ASSOCIATE ROLE, THE REMOVAL OF SENIOR NURSE LEADERS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE POSSIBLE IMPACT ON NURSING OF THE UK LEAVING THE EU, WE HAVE A RECIPE FOR SERIOUS WORKFORCE CHALLENGES.
