About Nursing Standard

Nursing Standard, the UK's most widely read nursing journal, provides you with all the information and tools you need to keep up to date on the latest best practice and meet the NMC's revalidation requirements.

The journal is available in print or digital page-turner format and includes unlimited access to nursingstandard.com. Here is where you will find our online archive of Evidence and Practice clinical and continuing professional development (CPD) articles, as well as a history of nursing best practice at your fingertips stretching back to 1987, perfect for citations and essays. Nursing Standard continues to publish relevant and up to the minute peer-reviewed articles and in-depth analysis of current nursing news and practice. We also publish Ahead of Print clinical articles.

Nursing Standard is published by RCNi, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Royal College of Nursing.

RCNi produce a comprehensive range of online nursing resources including RCNi Learning and RCNi Portfolio. We also host the annual RCNi Nurse Awards, the largest UK-wide award ceremony to celebrate and honour the often unsung stars within our nursing profession.
