The ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ (RCN) Wales represents around 29,500 members, two-thirds of whom work in the community, and many in care homes. Care home providers and RCN Wales members alike have reported an acute shortage of registered nurses in the care home sector. This report argues for a set of actions to raise the profile of care home nursing and make sure residents continue to receive the safe and effective care they need and deserve.
