Cardiff University's announcement of plans to cut 400 jobs due to a funding shortfall has raised serious concerns about the future supply of nurses in Welsh health boards. The Royal College of Nursing Wales has warned that potential course closures, particularly in nursing, could severely impact the pipeline of new healthcare professionals. Although university representatives stated there would be no immediate effect on current nursing students, the situation is dire, as Welsh hospitals are already short of 2,000 nurses, making the university's role increasingly critical.
Helen Whyley, executive director of the Royal College of Nursing Wales, expressed concerns over Cardiff University's plans to cut 400 jobs, highlighting the significant impact on nursing supply.
