Annual Conference for Teachers and Advisers 2022

Throughout the COVID pandemic, the vital role that health and social care workers play in keeping us safe and well has never been more evident. As the NHS united to tackle the virus, a new wave of almost 160,000 aspiring medics, social workers, allied health professionals and nurses applied through UCAS and joined the sector.

A new UCAS report, in collaboration with Health Education England (HEE), focuses on the ‘future nurses,’ painting a picture of the next generation of nurses who have been inspired by the pandemic.  Join the co-authors as they unpick why, at a time when the NHS has - in many ways - never been more challenged, tens of thousands of individuals are excited to enter the nursing profession. Who are these ‘new nurses’? What, and who, has shaped and inspired their decisions? What excites and worries them most about their next steps? And what can we learn from these individuals to shape the workforce of the future?
