NHS Board Projected Staff in Post Changes for 2016/17
NHS boards workforce projections for 2016/17, based on staff in post whole time equivalent (WTE).
6. Nursing and midwifery interns
The Internship Scheme was set up by the Scottish Government and is administered on its behalf by NHS Education for Scotland (NES).
The intern positions are in addition to the funded establishment for the area within which the intern is placed. Whilst interns are not included in the establishment figures, they are rostered in the normal way because they are fully registered nurses and midwives with the same standards, skills and competencies as other newly registered staff. This approach means that the intern always provides additional clinical practice experience beyond any baseline safe/appropriate staffing.
