In healthcare, safeguarding patients and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards is essential. Recent articles from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and other regulatory bodies highlight the critical role that thorough employment checks play in this process.
The UK Labour Government’s 2024 Winter Budget introduces substantial funding increases for the healthcare sector, with a strong emphasis on reducing waiting lists, enhancing patient access to services, and modernising healthcare infrastructure.
