- To make transformative, future-proofed recommendations for the diversification of education and training pathways and opportunities for nursing and midwifery professions that support the longer-term workforce sustainability by:
- Creating adaptable and responsive, place-based opportunities, centred around a Once for Scotland approach that recognises relevant unique local and regional circumstances, for new or improved pathways into pre-registration, including seamless articulation for those in nursing and midwifery support roles.
- Understanding and seeking to maximise the retention of students in nursing and midwifery education pathways.
- Creating flexible, high-quality learning and development opportunities that promote continued growth and professional development for all and supports clear post registration career progression and pathways from support roles to consultant level as well academic and research roles.
- Embedding a culture of lifelong learning and professional development across all four pillars of practice, recognising their value and interdependencies for providing safe, evidence-based, person-centred care
