Student nurses not yet registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council are not included in the National Health Service mental health nurse headcount data.

These students will not, as part of their programme of training, be contracted by any person or body to provide nursing care.

A small minority of post-registration students studying part-time conversion or postgraduate courses will be included in the headcounts.
