Nursing Associates: Training
(asked on 12th December 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many student nursing associates completed their training in each year from 2018 to 2023.
The Department does not hold the information requested. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) publishes the number of United Kingdom trained nursing associates joining their register for the first time in England, which will be a close proxy for the number completing training. The following table shows the number of UK trained nursing associates joining the NMC register in England for the first time, in each if the last six financial years:
Year | Number of UK trained nursing associates joining the NMC register for the first time |
2018/19 | 485 |
2019/20 | 1,182 |
2020/21 | 2,708 |
2021/22 | 2,743 |
2022/23 | 3,166 |
2023/24 | 3,343 |
