The launch of a new nursing degree apprenticeship
has been announced by Jeremy Hunt, the Secretary of State for Health, with the first apprentice nurses possibly working
on wards from September. The government said that once the programme is
established, up to 1000 apprentice nurses could join the NHS each year. Aspiring
nurses will start the Apprenticeship at different stages, depending on their
qualifications and experience, though the course will not require GCSE English
and Maths. Before they start training, Apprentices will have their numeracy and
literacy skills assessed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council Approved
Education Institution to ensure they meet a minimum of Level two (GCSE equivalent).Sunday, 8 January 2017
