It is recognised that work pressures impact nurses' wellbeing, their ability to deliver care well, and the likelihood of staff staying in the NHS. Currently, there is no consensus on how the wellbeing of nurses working in the NHS (Registered nurses employed by the UK's NHS or by an NHS commissioned service) should be measured. This study aims to build on the Research Team's work to create a Core Outcome Set for Doctor Wellbeing by developing an evidenced consensus-based COS for NHS Nurse Wellbeing.

We will undertake a 4 step process: 1) Patient and Participant Involvement will establish the appropriateness of the outcomes and descriptions, 2) a Delphi survey will be used to reach a consensus on which outcomes should be used in a core outcome set for nurse wellbeing, 3) a critical review of the outcome measurement instruments available for the outcomes in the core outcome set and quality assessment of the available tools, and 4) selection of the outcome measurement instruments to use in the core outcome set by the expert advisory group.
