Where does the role ‘fit’ in the workforce? “However, it is important to understand that nursing associates are not registered nurses and we expect health and care providers to consider this when deploying them. As with the introduction of any other new role, we are not prescriptive about how you deploy nursing associates, but we need assurance that using them is safe and supports you to deliver high-quality care.” Ref: Briefing for providers: Nursing associates Care Quality Commission January 2019
