The focus of this years\u2019 International Nurses Day<\/a> (ICN) is Our Nurses. Our Future. The economic power of care. The International Council of Nurses (ICN) states<\/a> that:<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite being the backbone of health care, nursing often faces financial constraints and societal undervaluation. IND 2024 aims to reshape perceptions, demonstrating how strategic investment in nursing can bring considerable economic and societal benefits<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

This week Editor in Chief, Alison Twycross (a.m.twycross@bham.ac.uk<\/a>) and Deputy Editor Jane Wray (J.Wray@hull.ac.uk<\/a>) highlight journal content to demonstrate the difference a well-educated nursing workforce can make to patient care and safety.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On International Nurses\u2019 Day 2024, we call for strategic investment in the nursing workforce, an issue highlighted in their our editorial1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Good for patients. Good for our communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a time of increasing patient complexity and demand for care, a highly educated and skilled workforce is crucial.\u00a0The relationship between nurse education and improved patient outcomes has long been apparent. Hospitals in which 60% of nurses had bachelor\u2019s degrees had lower mortality rates than that those in which 30% of nurses had a degree2<\/sup>. Despite more and more evidence emerging to \u00a0support this the issue continues to be debated, disputed and sometimes even overlooked. Why is this? Garcia and Qureshi\u2019s3<\/sup> editorial on nurse identify and the misrepresentation of nursing in the media discusses these issues in greater detail.Those with expertise in what is good for patients and our communities, and what education, training and working conditions they need to deliver this. They are also experts in their own professions\u2019 future and this needs to be centre stage of The NHS England Workforce plan4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

We invest. We retain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Increasing the number of advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) within the UK healthcare workforce to improve both patient outcomes and service delivery was discussed in a recent commentary by Wood and Hyde5<\/sup>.\u00a0 Allocating resources to the promotion of evidence-based practice improves patient care and also increases nursing engagement and decreases staff turnover6<\/sup>. \u00a0The reasons staff leave are well known and evidenced; workload, low morale, dissatisfaction, burnout, moral distress, professional discrimination, pay and limited access to continuous professional development and career progression7, 8, 9,10 <\/sup>. We need to ensure that the learning environment for students is focused on support11<\/sup>, wellbeing10 <\/sup>\u00a0and better collaboration at \u2018all levels, in all processes\u2019 between universities and healthcare providers contributes also to a future healthy\u00a0workforce12<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

The evidence is clear, investing in the development of the nursing workforce leads to high quality safe and effective care and better patient outcomes.\u00a0 Improving working conditions and environments, high quality education programmes, continued professional development throughout nursing careers will help re-shape perceptions of nurses and nursing. At first glance, this may appear \u2018costly\u2019 to those who manage the relevant budgets. However, the cost of not investing is much much higher.<\/p>\n
