Explore how hosting placements and contributing to nursing education can benefit your organisation, your team and the people you support.

΢΢²ÝÊÓÆµ has launched the first-ever undergraduate strategy for social care nursing, marking a major step in recognising social care as a valued part of nursing education.

The strategy was developed in collaboration with the Council of Deans of Health, aims to create stronger connections between students, higher education institutions and care providers to offer high-quality placement opportunities in social care settings by providing building blocks and top tips. This will provide a broader perspective on their understanding of care and may attract them to work in the sector when qualified.
