The Nursing Profession Reform Act is a German amendment act ( Mantelgesetz ) that was enacted on July 17, 2017. It contains the new Nursing Professions Act (for nursing training from 2020) and changes in other legal provisions affected by it. The new law is about the further development of nursing training / professions, which were previously trained in separate training courses at different schools, health and nursing , health and children's nursing and care for the elderly to a single, also three-year training. The aim is to bring these training courses together. From 2020, the Nursing Professions Act will replace the two previous laws: the Elderly Care Act of 2000, which came into force in 2003, and the Nursing Act in its revised version from 2003. The Main Act also contains provisions for the transition periods from the old to the new regulation. After a later evaluation (review of the changes, in eight years at the earliest), it may be possible to abolish separate qualifications in the three professions.
A legislative procedure was completed in July 2017. In addition to the as Article 1 contains new nursing professions Act, the nursing profession reform law takes in several other laws or ordinances adjustments: the Nursing Act , elder care law , the Third , Fifth and Eleventh Book of the Social Code , the Medical Licensing Regulations , the Hospital Financing Act , Hospital Remuneration Act , in the Bundespflegesatzverordnung , in Federal Personnel Representation Act , Prison Act , in the Ordinance on Training Funding for Social Care Professions , the Federal Police Career Ordinance , Soldier Career Ordinance , Ship Occupation Ordinance , Maritime Medicine Ordinance and in the Vocational Training Act .
