Nurses and midwives ''should be at forefront of healthcare''A report submitted to the government has suggested operations management within the healthcare sector should be configured in a way that places nurses and midwives at the forefront of delivery.

The study by the Prime Minister's Commission on the Future of Nursing and Midwifery includes a series of 20 recommendations aimed at enhancing care services in England

According to the publication on frontline care, further efforts are needed to provide professionals with greater freedom to manage, commission and run services, in addition to measures to enhance quality and safety within the sector.

In a response to the report, health minister Anne Milton told the Royal College of Nursing conference: "Our plans to modernise the NHS aims to deliver high quality patient care with NHS frontline staff at the forefront."

Demand planning specialists in the public sector may also be interested to note that the government is carrying out an exercise to "pause, listen, reflect on and improve" its proposals for the future of the health service.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800500460-ADNFCR
