Impact on internationally educated professionals - Lisa Plotkin
A comprehensive study released by the Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF), and commissioned by the Nursing and Midwifery (NMC), shows that advanced nursing and midwifery talent is being lost within the health and social care system. Lisa Plotkin (Head of Policy and Influence at the FNF) and Paula McLaren (Senior Nursing Adviser for Advanced Practice, NMC) discuss the report and how it will help the NMC to develop a model of advanced practice regulation that is supportive and fair for every nurse and midwife, wherever they were educated.
From November 2023 to February 2024 we engaged with stakeholders to ensure we carefully considered the views of the public and professionals with an interest in advanced practice. This included people from different practice settings and backgrounds.
We engaged extensively in all four countries of the UK, with nursing and midwifery professionals, members of the public including people with lived experience of receiving care from advanced practitioners, and with charities and advocacy organisations.
These three conversations explain the benefits of advanced practice for people receiving care and how we've involved the public in our review:
