Nurse (Use of Title) Bill

The Nurse (Use of Title) Bill seeks to protect the title 'nurse' by making it illegal for unqualified individuals to use this designation. Currently, the term 'nurse' is not legally protected in the UK, meaning anyone could claim to be a nurse without proper training or registration. This bill would restrict the use of the title to those who are registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and hold appropriate qualifications, similar to protections already in place for titles like 'doctor' and 'solicitor'.
