Call for assistant nurse role rethink

Call for assistant nurse role rethink The creation of new nursing assistant posts should be scrapped and money invested in "real nurses", experts say after research suggested the use of lower skilled posts was a risk.

Rollout of the new nursing associate roles starts in England in December.

But ministers rejected the criticism, saying the new posts were on top of investment in fully qualified nurses. BBC News
