<p>It is for local National Health Service organisations with their knowledge of the
healthcare needs of their local population to invest in post registration training
for specialist skills and to deploy specialist nurses. The Nursing and Midwifery Council
does not require a specific post-registration education programme to be undertaken
in order for a Registered Nurse to become a Rheumatology Specialist Nurse.</p><p>The
Department is making significant investment in nurse training, putting in place a
range of measures to increase nursing workforce supply and support recruitment, including
additional clinical placement funding to make available 5,000 more nurse training
places each year and introducing Nurse Degree and Nursing Associate apprentices.</p>
