We want to hear your views on which roles or people should be allowed to use the word ‘nurse’ in their title.

Call for evidence description
We are seeking evidence that contributes towards an understanding of:
the professions and roles that should continue to be able to use the title ‘nurse’ without risk of prosecution
other professional titles that should be protected under the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (NMC) legislative framework
Given the territorial extent of NMC’s regulatory framework, and the fact that professions using the title ‘nurse’ may exist across different parts of the UK, we are seeking views from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales as part of the call for evidence.
We welcome views from:
the public
regulators, including NMC
the Royal College of Nursing
trade unions
employers
the higher education sector
charities
other sectors where nurse is used as part of a professional title
