The NHS needs to recruit over 40,000 nurses over the next decade to meet healthcare demand. Current issues like outdated hierarchies, toxic work environments, and lack of appreciation contribute to nurses leaving the profession. In order to address the nursing shortage, a concerted effort is needed to promote nursing as a desirable career, share positive stories about the role, and make the application process easier. Emphasizing nursing's opportunities to care for patients and use emotional skills that robots cannot replace could attract more people to the profession.

1. The current situation is that the NHS needs to recruit
40,000+ nurses
Unless nurses can be recruited quickly the NHS
will not be able to meet the demand of healthcare

We need to stop them from leaving!
We need them to come back!

"Because you can play games all day," answers eight-
year-old Spencer Parker. Five of the top ten earning
YouTubers in 2018 were men who streamed
themselves playing video games, and as such,
thousands of young boys have a new ambition.
Bloomberg claims a third of children aged six to

You get to save lives,
nothing is cooler than that!

11. Educate through stories
Let nurses showcase the positives of their career

14. 800 million workers worldwide could be replaced by robots by 2030
McKinsey Global Institute
Robots will help and aid nurses to do their jobs more efficiently.
Robots will enable nurses to devote more of their time to caring for
their patients
But robots do not have compassion, empathy or instinct,
which makes a nursing job a very secure future job
People should be encouraged to do jobs that require emotional
intelligence which robots don't have, which makes nursing a great
career to pursue

15. The NHS is ours, let's start sharing the positive stories
Let's talk about why it's great to work there
Let's all help to recruit 40,000 nurses
