This is why we fight to protect the title’Nurse’. Strengthen patient safety #ProtectNurse @alisonleary1 @CrystalOldman @alisonleary1 @protectnurse
New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia shared at least 15 social media posts identifying her as an “attorney” over the past two years, despite having failed the California bar exam and acknowledging publicly she had been advised not to use that term. cnn.it/3UoVyjD

This will enhance patient safety, protect public trust, and ensure respect for the nursing profession.
The Govt wants to hear views on which roles/people should be allowed to use the word 'nurse' in their title.
Call for evidence closes 8th October. ⬇️

The Govt has launched a call for evidence to protect the title 'nurse' in law.
Big win and more progress for my campaign in Parliament, working alongside @protectnurse campaign.
I encourage those with views to contribute and help shape the legislation.

The Department for Health & Social Care said in March that the law would be changed to limit who was allowed to call themselves a nurse.This means people working in a hands-on capacity as night nannies would no longer be able ..operate as”maternity nurses" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c232…

This sounds like such an important gathering for people dedicated to community and nursing care. You can really feel the commitment to education, collaboration, and improving patient support behind events like this.Wishing everyone involved a successful and inspiring conference.

“With no regulation, anyone can call themselves a sleep expert. Scott-Wright and Clegg also work as self-described "maternity nurses" - a role involving hands-on work with infants that is also unregulated.” @Protectnurse @alisonleary @leannepatrick bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce84…
Dr Dame Crystal Oldman DBE CBE EdD RN RHV QN FRCN retweeted
The lack of qualifications or training needed for someone to refer to themselves as a "sleep expert" or a "maternity nurse" - combined with no regulation - is deeply concerning, said all our medical professionals @caspertown24 @alisonleary1 @LeanneHPatrick @CrystalOldman
