The World Health Organization (WHO) launched the technical brief “Policies and approaches to promote safe nurse staffing”.
Recognizing the critical contribution of the nursing profession to health systems, this technical brief sets out the case for investing in safe nurse staffing. It equips policy-makers with evidence for strategic and operational implementation of safe nurse staffing. Examples from countries participating in the European Union-funded Nursing Action showcase country experiences, alongside global evidence to inform and guide the implementation of safe nurse staffing policies and practices. Improving nurse staffing practices serves to enhance patient care while also contributing to the retention and recruitment of nurses across the WHO European Region.
What I found particularly interesting is the table n.5 (page 21) resuming the National laws on staffing requirements.

The brief is particularly relevant given our discussions and ongoing initiatives at EU and National level.
