## Notice

Nurses constitute the biggest workforce in the NHS and are a critical part of the multi-professional team required to deliver quality and safe 21st century care. However, the challenges that nursing shortages brings will require a multifaceted and carefully coordinated strategy to grow the nursing workforce, including a strong focus on improving retention of our existing workforce. There is a real need to consider new approaches to educating and training future nurses in relation to the impact of new and emerging technologies and the requirement for strong digital capabilities. There is also a need for a future workforce that is flexible, adaptable, has a growth mindset, that is innovative and enthusiastic about change.
