Ten years on: how is the nursing associate role working out?
Almost ten years after its pilot, the nursing associate (NA) role in England has grown to include more than 13,000 professionals on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register, positioned between healthcare support workers and registered nurses. We look at the opportunities and challenges of the role so far, and ask NAs and lecturers how it could be developed further.
