HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust has welcomed the announcement by the Department of Health that all new nurses will be educated to degree level from 2013.

Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) currently employs nurses who work in Chlamydia screening programmes for young people, HIV testing clinics and clinics that offer contraception services and screening for sexually transmitted infections.

Jason Warriner, Clinical Director at Terrence Higgins Trust said "As our clinical services continue to grow, nurses will be pivotal in ensuring high quality services can be delivered in a variety of community settings. Degree level education will guarantee nurses have the right mix of clinical experience, clinical skills and expert knowledge, which can only benefit people using our services."
