National Policy on Nursing Education and Training

The Department of Health has released the National Policy on Nursing Education and Training because "There is a need for a national overarching framework, informed by and designed around health services demands, underpinned by sound education principles, to direct provisioning of nursing education and training within the context of the legislative framework imposed by developments in both health and higher education sectors.... This policy outlines the basis for a uniform framework, within which nursing education leading to professional registration in the various categories of nursing is provided."
