Our Nurse Associates are able to assist both GP’s and Advance Nurse Practitioners on recording patients observations such as blood pressures, temperatures and pulse etc. and then liaising with GP’s/NP’s on the patients outcome to ensure patients safety is maintained at all times.
The nursing associates working closely across 4 main areas;
- Adults
- Children
- Mental Health
- Learning disabilities
A nursing associate is a stepping stone for the individual to become a registered nurse if desired. They are based in the community via a GP or can be based in care homes or hospitals. Each nursing associate cover the specified areas. However, some can be more specialised in a specific area for example, ophthalmology. They are then able to assist with setting up consultations.
Please follow the link for individual Nurse associates stories of how they became a NA and their next planned steps in their career.
