Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 June 2014. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Health: Patient Safety.


Health: Patient Safety

It was only recently that the Nursing and Midwifery Council revised the curriculum for the training of nurses. I am sure that the noble Lord will be pleased to know that that curriculum is broadly divided 50:50 into practical training and training in the classroom, which was the balance historically. I believe that nurse training is now set fair for the future. The noble Lord is right to raise concerns about Project 2000, which many people felt did not quite address the needs of nurse training. However, that programme is substantially different now from what it was in 2000.
