The nursing and midwifery professions play a vital role in shaping the transforming health and care system. As professionals involved throughout every stage of care, nurses, midwives and nursing associates offer unique insights that are crucial to successful and sustainable NHS transformation.

This session invites NHS leaders to explore how harnessing this expertise can drive lasting improvement for populations and the workforce. It will focus on how the professions are leading NHS transformation at all levels, and their role in delivering community-based care, digital advancements and prevention efforts as part of the 10 Year Health Plan.

The session will also discuss how the professions need to evolve to meet the needs of a modern health and care system including the role of education reform, innovation, research and strong leadership, guided by the upcoming professional strategy for nursing and midwifery.
