The IOW NHS Trust is celebrating their own first homegrown cohort of Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Registered Nursing Associates.
Six have now completed their Higher Apprenticeship in Nursing Associate Practice in partnership with the Open University (OU).
The Trust and the OU have been collaborating to deliver apprenticeship programmes to increase the number of registered nurses and nursing associates. The first cohort of registered nursing degree apprentices started their studies in September 2018, with trainee nursing associates joining the IOW NHS workforce in February 2019.
