This is very good news, losing the L7 in health would have been profound. Well done @ihealthvisiting.bsky.social @theqicn.bsky.social SAPHNA and co for persisting with this.
We are delighted to hear that NHS England and DHSC have secured a commitment for the continued funding of Level 7 apprenticeships in five professions in health and social care until 2029 – including the apprenticeship option for SCPHN training, including health visitors.

Raising the roar: The power of political advocacy in school nursing | Journal of Family and Child Health
School nurses must be politically active to address the growing needs of children and young people, and nurse academics need to lead by example by fostering policy discussion and a culture of advocacy. Melanie Hayward, Associate Professor of Education (Health and Social Care) at Buckinghamshire New University and chair of the National Association of School Nurse Academics (NASNA), Julie Critcher, Deputy Professional Officer – School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA) and NASNA member, and Erica Lloyd, Senior Lecturer, Programme Lead SCPHN-School Nursing at the University of Derby and NASNA member explain
