List of nursing organisations in the United Kingdom

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This alphabetical list focuses on nursing organisations whose activities relate to nursing as regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the United Kingdom. It covers specialist associations, charities, professional organisations, regulators and support groups. At the end there is a list of historic nursing organisations. This list is based on the British Library UK Web Archive Nursing Collection[1]

This list does not include any of the 80+ providers of nursing education courses, these can be searched via UCAS.[2] Neither does it include NHS nursing departments or directorates.

Dental nurses, nursery nurses and veterinary nurses are not regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and are therefore not included in this list.
