QNIS attends State of the World’s Nursing Report launch
QNIS Chief Executive and Nurse Director, Sarah Doyle, was recently invited to the House of Lords for the launch of the 2025 World Health Organisation report on the State of the World’s Nursing.
The event was chaired by Lord Nigel Crisp and sponsored by the Burdett Trust for Nursing. The discussion was led by Professor Aisha Holloway, Nursing Now Challenge Programme Director, supported by senior nurse leaders in conversation with newly qualified and student practitioners.
The report examines the global challenges for nursing including education, employment, migration, regulation, working conditions, leadership and more. The data show complex disparities between and among countries, regions and socio-economic contexts. For example, low- and middle-income countries are facing challenges in graduating, employing and retaining nurses in the health system and will need to raise domestic investments to create and sustain jobs. In parallel, high-income countries need to be prepared to manage high levels of retiring nurses and review their reliance on foreign-trained nurses, strengthening bilateral agreements with the countries they recruit from.
