Overview

The Nursing Associate (NA) role was developed following the outcome of the Shape of Caring Review (Health Education England 2015) which showed that there was a knowledge and skills gap between healthcare assistants and registered nurses. This resource is for you if you are training to be a Nursing Associate or are now qualified. It contains the essential knowledge you’ll need to deliver safe, confident, and person-centred care, across the four nursing fields: adult, children, learning disabilities and mental health. This pocket reference emphasises the unique NA role and recognizes the diverse range of clinical areas in which NAs work across primary, secondary, and tertiary care in England. In addition: 1. Each field is signposted throughout the text (A, CYP, LD, MH) 2. All sections are referenced to support your learning and further professional development 3. An accessible format and clear organisation makes it easy to use. 4. An abbreviation of terms section will help you interpret key information. 5. The symbol ⚠ is used throughout the guide and acts as a reminder to NAs stay updated and refer to local standard operating policies and scope of practice. The new practice and proficiency standards required by the NMC from 2018/19 are fully incorporated and updated.
