Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many (1) apprenticeship nurses, and (2) post-graduate qualified nurses, are expected to complete training before the end of this Parliament.

The employer-led Nursing Degree Apprentice Trailblazer Group estimate there will be 1,000 Nursing Degree Apprentices in training every year. Apprentices are employed and actual numbers will depend on how many employers want to train through the apprenticeship route. The Nursing Degree Apprenticeship will typically take four years to complete.

Information on the number of post-graduate qualified nurses expected to complete training before the end of this Parliament is not yet held.
