| Nursing and Midwifery Taskforce Publication
*sent on behalf of Directorate of Health Workforce*
The final reports of the Listening Project and the National Nursing and Midwifery Taskforce have now been published. These reports represent a significant milestone in our efforts to understand the challenges faced by nursing and midwifery staff across Scotland, and we want to thank everyone who participated in this process.
Through the Listening Project, our priority was to ensure we took the time to listen to nursing and midwifery staff, academics and students. The feedback provided was shared openly and honestly (and anonymously) with NMT members, and it has directly informed the development of the recommended actions aimed at addressing the challenges facing our workforce.
You can access the final reports using the links below:
NMT report – https://www.gov.scot/isbn/9781836913290
Listening Project report – https://www.gov.scot/isbn/9781836912637
A document showing how the Listening Project feedback helped shaped the NMT recommended actions is also attached for sharing locally.
