The document discusses changes to nursing and midwifery education in the UK driven by new standards from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Key points: - The NMC now requires a degree-level qualification for nursing registration. Programs emphasize competencies like communication, leadership, and research. - Curriculums focus on skills like compassion, organization, and infection control. They also stress research processes, problems, and content. - Example program structures for 3-year nursing and 4-year dual-field nursing are outlined. Challenges include embedding technology, grading practice experiences, and adapting to new ways of thinking.
