Safe staffing champion: ‘role was my chance to be loud and proud and promote nursing’

Jennifer Trueland Health journalist

Due to retire in January 2021, she had lined up a full programme of events and activities intended to celebrate the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife. It was also supposed to be the year when ground-breaking safe staffing legislation was implemented in Scotland, something she’d campaigned hard to achieve. It should have been quite the swan song – but along came COVID-19.
