Nurse training boost welcome but more needed across whole NHS, says UNISON

Commenting on government plans to boost funding for nurse training, Deputy head of health Helga Pile said:
“Annual funding for training has been slashed by £120 million over the past four years so this increase is welcome.
“Yet three fifths of direct patient care comes from support staff who only receive minimal training funds – much more is needed to help them give the best care and develop those with the potential to become nurses or other health professionals.
