NMBI was invited to a meeting of the Joint Committee on Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science on 18 March at Leinster House to discuss the topic of sector skills gaps and critical skills. 

Dr Ray Healy, Director of Registration and Lorraine Clarke, Director of Education, Policy and Standards, addressed the committee and outlined where the nursing and midwifery Register stands today, what trends NMBI is seeing, and the actions that we are taking, as a regulator, to ensure a resilient and sustainable workforce for the years ahead.
