The nursing associate is a new support role in England that bridges the gap between healthcare support workers and registered nurses to deliver hands-on, person-centred care as part of the nursing team. Nursing associates work with people of all ages in a variety of settings in health and social care.  

Many aspects of the Foundation Degrees in Associate Practitioner, Health and Social Care and Healthcare Practice are also included within this book.

For trainee nursing associates and individuals enrolled in healthcare practice foundation degrees or higher-level apprenticeships, this handbook is an essential tool. It provides comprehensive support throughout your program, covering all aspects from initial skills and knowledge to advanced topics such as pathophysiology and leadership. Using clear and concise language, it enhances your confidence and proficiency as a competent healthcare practitioner.

Key highlights include:

• Mapped to the 2018 NMC Standards and other pertinent healthcare codes and standards.
• The inclusion of a new chapter on medicines management.
• Case studies, scenarios, and activities that demonstrate theory in real-life practice.
