Modernising Nursing Careers, the Government's blueprint for the futureof the profession, said nursing would move away from being based aroundspecific bodies and titles to focus on roles.
Fiona Smith, children and young people's adviser at the Royal College ofNursing, said it meant children's nurses could use their knowledge andskills in other settings. For example, a nurse working in schools couldalso visit children at home or care for those with chronicillnesses.
But Smith said the working group that carries the plans forward wouldneed to recognise children's needs. It has yet to be announced if thegroup will include children and young people's practitioners.
