Record rise in student nurses – but unions warn it isn’t enough to cover NHS shortfall The number of students accepted on nursing courses at UK universities has reached a record high – but unions warn that significant shortages remain in the workforce.
Figures from Ucas show the number of nursing applicants has risen by 6.7 per cent across the UK, ending a decline that began when the government scrapped bursaries for student nurses in 2017.
But unions say the numbers are still “nowhere near” enough to end the ”staffing crisis” facing the nursing sector. The Independent
