Nursing Associate

What is a nursing associate?

A nursing associate is a member of the nursing team in England that helps bridge the gap between health and care assistants and registered nurses.

Nursing associates work with people of all ages, in a variety of settings in health and social care. The role contributes to the core work of nursing, freeing up registered nurses to focus on more complex clinical care.

It's a stand-alone role that also provides a progression route into graduate level nursing.

Nursing Associates are registered by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
