We’ve published an animation to help people understand what they can expect from their nursing associate.
It explores the vital role nursing associates play within health and social care in England. It explains how these professionals are guided by our Code and standards every day to provide safe, effective and kind care for people who use services.
The animation also looks at how educators guide and supervise nursing associate students, so that they can join our register with the knowledge and skills they need to practise safely and confidently.
The nursing associate role was introduced in England only in 2019 to help bridge the gap between health and care assistants, and registered nurses. They deliver and monitor care planned and assessed by registered nurses. They work across a broad range of settings - in social care, hospitals and within the community - providing essential care and support to people from all corners of society.
