💨 Abstract

The term 'nurse' in the UK is not legally protected, allowing anyone to use it regardless of qualifications. This is a concern as it undermines patient safety, public trust, and professional integrity. A campaign led by Parliament members aims to change this by requiring only those registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council to use the title 'nurse'. The Bill has received support from various healthcare organizations and the public.
