Table of contents: title: This report from the Prime Minister's Commission on the Future of Nursing and Midwifery in England explores how the nursing and midwifery professions must take a central role in the design and delivery of 21st century services. It looks at nursing and midwifery today in the context of current socioeconomic, health and demographic trends, and dispels some myths and misunderstandings. It offers a vision of nurses and midwives in the mainstream of service planning, development and delivery, backed up by the necessary education, continuing professional development and supervision, and by supportive management and workplace cultures. It proposes 20 high-level recommendations on seven themes: high quality, compassionate care; the economics of nursing and midwifery; health and wellbeing; caring for people with long-term conditions; promoting innovation in nursing and midwifery; nurses and midwives leading services; and careers in nursing and midwifery.
