As part of the 10-Year Health Plan for England, NHS England is calling on registered nurses, midwives, nursing associates and students across England to help shape the Professional Strategy for Nursing and Midwifery in England. 

The strategy will set out a long-term professional direction of travel up to 2040, that: 

  • Considers the impact of system and societal changes on the professions. 

  • Defines the profession's role in leading and delivering the ambitions for a modern health and care system for our population. 

  • Better supports nurses, midwives and nursing associates through a new career-long approach to education and learning and modern career pathways. 

The Homecare Association encourages all social care nurses and social care providers to contribute to the survey. This is important to ensure representation of the sector.  

The survey closes at midnight on Monday 29 September 2025. Click here to respond.
