Currently the title of 'Registered Nurse' is protected, but 'nurse' is not.

I've tabled EDM 1199 calling for a change in the law to make 'nurse' a legally protected professional title.

Please kindly ask your MP to sign my EDM and help #ProtectNurseπŸ‘‡πŸΎ.

Did you receive your NNA member update this month? I can recommend the healthy recipe from the British Heart Foundation. I used half the suggested amount of stock & added more garlic than recommended. I will make this again. Photo whilst cooking, not the finished soup, which looked & tasted yummy.
