Trainee Nursing Associate Apprenticeships (TNA)
Higher Apprenticeship in Nursing Associate Practice (Level5) Duration 2 years
The Trainee Nursing Associate is a highly trained support role to deliver effective, safe and responsive nursing care in and across a wide range of health and care settings. Trainee Nursing Associates work independently and with others, under the leadership and direction of a Registered Nurse within defined parameters, to deliver care in line with an agreed plan. Trainee Nursing Associates will have a breadth of knowledge and a flexible, portable skill set to serve local health populations, in a range of settings across the lifespan. The Nursing Associate works within all aspects of the nursing process, taking account of the perspectives and pathways of individuals, their families and/or carers providing holistic and person—centred care. They will support the Registered Nurse in the assessment, planning, delivery and evaluation of care. You must uphold the NMC code and meet the NMC requirements for continuing registration.
