Development of approaches and legislation to optimise nurse staffing levels.

This article outlines the background to, and development of, nurse staffing approaches in Wales that preceded the introduction of this legislation. It aims to provide nurses with an understanding of the journey towards introducing legislation for nurse staffing levels and workforce planning in Wales, which will be relevant to those affected by the implementation of any legislation in this important area of healthcare. This article also provides information about how the nurse staffing legislation evolved as a result of important work and collaboration that was already undertaken throughout NHS Wales.
