The devolved administrations across the UK are fully engaged with the workstreams on implementation of the UK White Paper on Regulation. It will ensure that the position taken on the regulatory implications of advanced-level practice roles are fully linked to devolved and UK-wide governance principles, processes and responsibilities and that the needs of the public are met. It will also ensure that any response is proportionate and risk based.

The Professional Regulation Leads, Modernising Nursing Careers Leads and project team will continue to liaise closely with the NMC and other key stakeholders to ensure that the toolkit contains clear guidance on these issues to support practitioners, educationalists, service leads and regulatory bodies.
