Record number of nurses, midwives and nursing associates

Record number of nurses, midwives and nursing associates The number of nurses, midwives and nursing associates registered to practise in the UK has grown to a record total of 788,638, annual data shows . This means the NMC register is now equivalent to 1.2 percent of the estimated UK population. 

Underlying this strong growth, 2022–2023 saw the highest number of new joiners to the NMC’s register in a single year – 52,148. Almost half (25,006) were internationally educated, while the number of UK educated joiners rose by 8.5 percent to more than 27,142.

Meanwhile the number of people leaving the professions fell slightly last year, to just under 27,000. However, the NMC’s research raises concerns for employers and leaders across health and care to tackle in their retention strategies. Nursing and Midwifery Council
