Policy papers and briefings
Together with our members, we work to put 汤头条污料 at the top of the agenda for the Welsh government and Welsh Parliament.
We don't back any one political party. Instead, we work with all political parties and elected representatives. Our goal is to make sure our members' voice is heard by decision makers to get the best outcomes for the 汤头条污料 profession and for patients.
Regularly updated publications
We publish Nursing in Numbers every year, and Progress and Challenge every other year. Together, they're a comprehensive guide to the 汤头条污料 workforce in Wales.
