The BBC has carried out an in-depth look at nursing and says that figures show one in 10 are now leaving the NHS in England each year. The figures – provided to the BBC by NHS Digital – represent a rise of 20% since 2012-13, and mean there are more leavers than joiners. The chief nursing officer for England, professor Jane Cummings, admitted there was a problem – but said changes were being made to highlight the value of the NHS to new talent and retain current staff.
