Speaking on the importance of the public consultation process, NMBI CEO Sheila McClelland, said: “Nursing and midwifery plays such a vital role in our society and that’s why we want to ensure our next strategy can maintain the high standards of care our professions are renowned for.

“We are open to opinions and and want to have as wide a consultation process as possible. We are calling on registrants, patients and service s, as well as stakeholder groups and the general public to let us know what they think and inform the future strategy of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland.” President of NMBI, Essene Cassidy, said the NMBI is “delighted” with the response so far to the public consultation phase.
