Nurse (Use of Title) Bill

Key Points

• Regulates the use of the title 'nurse' to prevent misleading or inappropriate use.
• Applies to individuals and organisations that use or allow the title in a professional context.
• Currently at the first formal stage in the Commons, introduced by Dawn Butler (Labour (Co-op)).
• If enacted, it would become law after the normal parliamentary process, including passage to the Lords and royal assent.

Progress

The bill has reached the Commons’ first reading. It will next move to the second reading, where MPs debate its general principle.
