4. BSc Nursing Applications
UCAS Nursing Applications for England 2017
23% decline (UCAS, )
Understanding the dip
Expected first year of funding reforms
Reduced EU applicants and negative NHS press coverage
Reduced applicants from older age-groups
Most university health faculties expected this.
Reduced EU applications and Negative press are not necessarily related to funding reforms
Half of the fall in nursing applicants mirrors the wider issue of a fall in older age-group applications to non nursing courses

5. Children’s Nursing Applications
No national statistic currently
Vulnerability
Oversubscribed courses with high quality applications
Risk to other fields of nursing from mature applicants reduction
Work to do
