At the WHO SEARO RC 77 meeting today, ?? ISPRM member Dr. Raju Dhakal made the following statement, endorsed by ISPRM and the World Rehabilitation Alliance: ?? "We applaud the progress on health workforce education in the WHO South-East Asia Region and its emphasis on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). However, to truly achieve UHC, future initiatives must include all rehabilitation professionals—not just doctors, nurses, and midwives. With 1 in 3 people globally in need of rehabilitation, especially in low- and middle-income countries, the demand is only growing. ?? Rehabilitation is essential for improving independence and function throughout the life course. We urge SEARO/WHO Member States to invest in rehabilitation education and training to ensure equitable access to quality services for all." #WorldRehabilitationAllicance #Rehab2030

The face of care in the UK is changing fast. From the increasing role of for-profit providers and the conflicts of interest this presents, to the rise in online services, to the expansion of new and innovative models of care… And as the delivery of healthcare evolves, regulators need to be able to meet the challenges head-on with agility. So, how is regulation supporting innovation and new ways of working? In the final session of our recently held Welsh regulatory seminar, held jointly with the Welsh Government | Llywodraeth, we heard two different perspectives on whether it is necessary or desirable to regulate support workers. The arguments largely centred on whether regulation is proportionate, and whether it acts as a barrier or an enabler to new ways of working. Claire Madsen, Executive Director of Therapies and Health Science, Powys Teaching Health Board, articulated some of the drawbacks of regulation – that it can be slow to respond, restrictive and expensive. She spoke about the need for regulation to be risk-based, and on this basis, argued that multi-professional support workers do not require statutory regulation. This is because the roles carry a lower level of risk and there are already many mechanisms in place to manage these. She called for regulation to be clear, flexible, and responsive to the needs of the population. An alternative view was provided by Rhiannon Jones and Carolyn Middleton from the Welsh Government, who have recently completed a review on the need to regulate a ‘band 4’ nursing role (sometimes called nursing support workers or nursing associates) in Wales. The review concluded that introducing statutory regulation for this role would be beneficial as it would support consistency and safety. In reaching this conclusion, they engaged widely with stakeholders, including clinicians, academics and unions. As a result of their review, the Minister has outlined the policy intent to regulate Nursing Associates in Wales, with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as the regulator. These two perspectives provided food for thought on the broader conversation of how regulation responds to workforce challenges and supports new ways of working. For those in favour of more statutory regulation, it begs the question: which roles might be next in line?

One prominent recruitment and rentention need identified by the current nursing and interprofessional workforce involves improved access to lifelong learning and professional development resources. Post-pandemic, the bar requires resetting at a higher level more than ever before. Magnet and Pathway-designated organizations assure this infrastructure within healthcare practice environments. It’s a professional obligation to healthcare providers, not an option. #PaintTheWorldGreen #PaintTheWorldBlue
