<p>There are no post-registration requirements for a Registered Nurse to become a
Parkinson’s nurse. Therefore, local integrated care systems will be responsible for
ensuring they have the necessary numbers of Parkinson’s (and other specialist) nurses
to meet the needs of their local population.</p><p>The NHS interim People Plan was
published on 3 June 2019, it puts staff at the heart of National Health Service policy
and delivery and recognises the current shortage of nurses as the most urgent challenge
facing the health system.</p><p>It calls for action to be taken now to make the NHS
the best place to work, by reforming the culture and leadership and ensuring all staff
(including nurses) feel supported and valued, in an effort to increase workforce recruitment
and retention.</p><p>The interim Plan proposes to increase the number of newly qualified
NHS nurses, support and retain existing nurses, provide nurses with every opportunity
to return to work, and bring in nurses from abroad. It commits to delivering 5,000
additional clinical placements for nursing students, 7,500 further Nursing Associates,
increasing undergraduate supply and broadening routes into nursing.</p><p><strong>
