Pre-Registered Nurses Programme
The Pre-Registered Nurses Programme is structured, hands-on training for nurses and senior clinical staff, delivered on-site by our experienced clinical trainers.
Why this training matters
A record 860,801 nurses, midwives and nursing associates are on the NMC register that governs safe practice across the UK, and the NHS in England still had over 31,000 registered nursing vacancies — underlining the demand for well-prepared new nurses.
