Nurse training set for £7m funding boost
Almost £7 million will be invested in training nurses as part of a new NHS workforce plan, the health secretary has announced.
Shona Robison said the funding would be directed at helping the existing nursing workforce better help people who need care in their own homes, GP practices or other community settings. Ms Robison said: “A strong and professional workforce is at the centre of the success of Scotland’s health and social system.
“The investment in nurse training will mean that more patients are treated in the community and ensure the sustainability of a multi-disciplinary team approach.”
The plan also calls for for an extra 800 GPS over the next ten years.
