Level 5 Nursing Associate

A nursing associate is a new and vital member of the wider nursing team in England. This standalone role is designed to bridge the gap between health and care assistants and registered nurses. As a Nursing associate, you can work with people of all ages in a variety of settings in health and social care. You'll be able to contribute to the core work of nursing which will allow registered nurses to focus on more complex clinical care. Across the course, you can develop your ability to provide and monitor person-centred, safe, and compassionate nursing care by acting in the best interests of all people. You'll also be able to learn how to communicate effectively to promote health and prevent ill health, improving and maintaining the overall health and wellbeing of people, families, carers, and communities. Additionally, you can learn how to contribute to the ongoing assessments of individual, knowing when to refer to others and to improve safety of individuals by identifying risks or experience of care and taking appropriate action. This programme follows the Nursing associate (NMC 2018) / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education standard (Nursing associate (NMC 2018) / Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education).
