A proposed rise in the annual registration fee for nurses and midwives is discussed on this week’s Nursing Standard podcast, with the nursing regulator set to hold public consultations on increasing the fee after keeping it at £120 a year since 2015. Other topics are a nurse’s £300 parking fine, clocks going back at the weekend, why many band 5 nursing roles are not being advertised and managing the risk of phlebitis arising from use of peripheral vascular access devices.
