In the coming weeks, this year's graduate intake - spanning all fields of nursing and midwifery - will be joining teams in all NHSGGC hospitals and in the community across all six Health and Social Care Partnerships.

Professor Angela Wallace, nurse director at NHSGGC, said: ‘This latest intake is testament to NHSGGC's commitment to ensuring services operate at the highest standard. Strengthening the workforce is a key priority for NHSGGC and our nurses and midwives are the heart of our services.

‘Their skills and previous on-the-job training will undoubtedly enhance the quality of care we provide and I look forward to the positive impact they will have on the health and wellbeing of our communities.'
