Hi all,

The UK Department of Health has made a Health Service Circular "A
Consultation on a Strategy for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting"
available on it's web site. This was previously sent (on paper) to NHS
Trust Nurse Executive Directors and Nurse Advisors in Health
Authorities, and other senior individuals and bodies.

This is an opportunity to be involved in the development of these
professions within the NHS of the future.

A copy is now available (in .pdf format) from;
http://www.open.gov.uk/doh/nursing.htm

The circular offers many areas of consultation about the development and

role of these professions in the NHS of the future. Responses are
required by 3rd July - however I can not see an email address for
comments - so they need to be on paper :-(

Whether any comments we make will be taken into account I can not say,
but at least we have an opportunity to see proposed areas of development
and make comment :-) Perhaps some discussion, about the 18 consultation
points identified in the circular, on this list would be appropriate?
