Gill Coverdale

Gill is the UK Professional Lead for Education (Quality Assurance) at the Royal College of Nursing and is highly passionate about nursing and the delivery of high-quality patient centred care. She is also determined that nurse education and CPD is recognised as vital to safe and effective care and is equally available to the whole of the nursing workforce.

Her role at the RCN is to work with stakeholders to direct the development of professional education standards for nursing that reflect the changing requirements of healthcare provision; and lead and manage the RCN’s framework for professional education, training and career development. This requires taking account of the four country political, policy and regulatory context.
