A NORTH-EAST hospital trust is investing ?800,000 in a scheme that will create 40 frontline nursing jobs and improve care for patients.
The scheme by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust is believed to be the first in the region.
It involves investing ?800,000 in recruitment and training in a bid to allow ward sisters and community nurse team leaders to spend more time managing and supervising staff rather than providing care.
The initiative, announced today ahead of International Nurses Day, has been backed by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), which praised the trust as leading the region.
