In support of this, we have developed a complete apprentice pathway from entry level nursing associate to postgraduate advanced clinical practice in nursing. This will support people from all backgrounds to enter a nursing career in the National Health Service.</p><p>In the 2017/18 academic year, there have been 300 apprenticeship starts recorded for the standard ‘registered nurse’ and 1,420 apprenticeship starts recorded for the standard ‘nursing associate’.</p><p>We are working closely with employers and Health Education England to make sure that the NHS is fully supported to recruit apprentices, both in nursing and in a range of other occupations and in doing so ensure the NHS has a workforce that is reflective of the population it serves.</p>
