Welcome to the Ministerial Nursing and Midwifery Taskforce Hub
Welcome to the hub of ambition, momentum and meaningful change for Scotland’s nursing and midwifery professions. The Ministerial Nursing and Midwifery Taskforce (NMT) is driving one of the most exciting national efforts to strengthen, support and empower the workforce - shaping a future where nurses and midwives can thrive at every stage of their careers.
This national website has been commissioned by the Scottish Government’s Chief Nursing Officer’s Directorate (CNOD), and developed by the Centre for Workforce Supply (CWS). It brings together everything you need to know about the NMT from Phase One identification of recommended actions, to Phase Two implementation, with the latest highlights from across the themed subgroups and some real-life stories of the impact of this work on nurses and midwives in Scotland.
