Nurses in Business
There have always been nurses who have left the NHS to become involved in healthcare businesses. Some run nursing homes or nursing agencies; some have set up companies or social enterprises that provide services, education or consultancy. They are a small percentage of the profession, but changes to the structure of the health service, and the increasing scope of professional practice, means that their numbers are growing. This trend is likely to grow following the passage of the Health and Social Care Bill.
This section of the website contain examples and useful information for nurses who are interested in combining their professional skills with business opportunities.
