Unheeded warnings: health care in crisis: the UK nursing labour market review 2016

Unheeded warnings: health care in crisis: the UK nursing labour market review 2016

This research highlights risks to the future nursing supply in England as it finds that half of nurses are aged 45 or over and are within ten years of being eligible for early retirement. In comparison, a decade ago just a third of the nursing workforce was aged 45 or over. The report calls on the government to scrap the pay cap for NHS staff to help to alleviate the retention crisis.
