This member briefing is a summary of the RCN’s most significant achievements, including some of what we anticipate will be the most impactful outcomes and recommended actions. 

The Ministerial Nursing and Midwifery Taskforce was set up because of pressure from RCN Scotland to address Scotland’s nursing workforce crisis. 

The Taskforce has now made 44 recommendations for action. As a central member of the Taskforce, RCN Scotland helped shape each and every one of these recommendations. Taken as a whole, these recommendations are ambitious and, if implemented well, will help develop a sustainable nursing workforce for the future.
