Supporting learners on NMC programmes to raise concerns around their supernumerary status or protected learning time (Nursing Associates)

ARU is introducing a new process for pre-registration nursing and nursing associate learners to raise concerns about their supernumerary status and protected learning time.

Learners can raise concerns via the ARU Placement Hub, the East of England healthcare tool kit App or by scanning a QR code on posters outlining the process.
