We’ve brought together a comprehensive set of career frameworks to guide nursing staff and aspiring professionals on their career progression.

The career frameworks are a one-stop shop that show the career routes available across all nursing settings in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as the breadth and depth of nursing.

These structured plans outline the skills, knowledge, and standards required at various stages of a nursing career, from entry-level roles to advanced and consultant level in a wide range of specialisms.

The 130 career frameworks have been developed or endorsed by health care bodies, offering structured guidance, development pathways and information relevant to various nursing settings, specialisms and career aspirations.

Find out more about the career frameworks.

They align with recognised standards, making them invaluable for planning careers, developing competencies, and meeting requirements essential for revalidation (where required) and career advancement.

For each area of nursing, the frameworks help nursing staff to understand what they'd need to do to get to the next level. You can filter by nursing areas and countries to find any frameworks, for example the framework for critical care in England or learning disability nursing in Northern Ireland.

Wendy Preston, RCN Head of Nursing Workforce, said: “This is the first UK career framework. It can be used by anyone; from a teenage student who wants to work in health care, to an experienced nursing professional looking for a career change.

“This should also be an important tool for recruitment and retention and bring to light options available to nursing staff throughout their careers, possibly in areas they hadn’t considered before, such as research, academia and leadership. These frameworks show the whole range of possibilities.”
