We’re pleased to launch the 2025 Social Care Nursing Survey, which was last undertaken in 2021. This important survey aims to gather unique and invaluable data on the numbers, experiences, and support needs of nurses in social care, as well as the organisations that employ them.

The insights gained from this survey will provide crucial nursing data not available elsewhere, helping to shape future strategies, advocacy and policies to better support nurses in social care. Your participation is crucial in ensuring we capture a comprehensive picture of the current landscape.

The survey is designed to be comprehensive yet straightforward, taking approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. To facilitate the process, having some basic information about your service, staffing and nurse employment in the last 12 months on hand before you begin will likely be helpful. Please ensure someone with sufficient knowledge completes the survey on behalf of your organisation.

We encourage all services that employ nurses to complete the survey by the 31 July deadline. You are welcome to complete the survey at a service or organisation level, but please ensure there are not multiple responses which duplicate data.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the survey, please get in contact with Becca Young – [email protected].

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to improving social care through active membership of Scottish Care.
