King's College London published reports yesterday the College described as ‘a roadmap for quality healthcare’.
They were ‘Nurses in Society: Starting the Debate’ and ‘State of the Art Metrics for Nursing: A Rapid Appraisal’.
Dr Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the RCN, said: ‘In July Lord Darzi pledged that nurses would be given the practical tools to improve standards of care – we now have a clear way forward and a nursing workforce which is ready to take up the challenge.
‘Now is the time for the nursing profession to grab this opportunity so that vision can be turned into reality.’
