Germany’s federal government has enacted a law that expands the scope of practice for nursing professionals, effective 1 January 2026. The legislation gives registered nurses and other qualified care staff authority to perform tasks that were previously exclusive to doctors, allowing them to make independent decisions in areas such as chronic disease management. The law also promotes new living arrangements that serve as alternatives to traditional nursing homes and aims to reduce paperwork in long‑term care, easing administrative burdens for nurses. Health Minister Nina Warken said the reforms will make nursing more attractive and improve working conditions for future care.
