Nursing Associate, Registered Nursing Degree Apprentice and Student Nurses
A Nursing Associate is a member of the practice nursing team who’s registered with the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC).
They can:
Promote health and give information about preventing ill health
Carry out baseline observations – blood pressure, temperature and pulse
Collect clinical specimens including blood
Undertake ECGs
Support patients and their families following unwelcome diagnoses
