Health Minister Robin Swann has wished NI’s Chief Nursing Officer Professor Charlotte McArdle well in her new role.

Professor McArdle has accepted the post of Deputy CNO for Patient Safety & Improvement with NHS England.

The Minister said: “I want to thank Charlotte for her leadership and dedicated service to nursing and midwifery, the Department and the wider Health and Social Care system, especially during the pandemic.

“She has been a very strong advocate for nursing and midwifery – and not least for investment in our nursing workforce. She leaves her Northern Ireland role with nursing and midwifery university places at their highest ever level and a clear plan to stabilise the workforce through the Nursing and Midwifery task group report.

“I wish Charlotte every success in her new role and congratulate her on the appointment.”
