The NMC announces further expansion of the Covid-19 temporary register
There has been further coverage of the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s decision to expand the temporary register by inviting more overseas-trained nurses to join, as part of “immediate action” to help the workforce deal with the latest Covid-19 surge. The NMC published a joint statement announcing the expansion of the temporary register together with the four UK chief nursing officers. This was reported in the Nursing Standard and a number of daily newspapers.
