The Nursing Associate role is a new support role that sits alongside existing healthcare assistants and fully-qualified registered nurses to deliver hands-on care for patients. The role helps bridge the gap between health care assistants and registered nurses.

Our North Lincolnshire South Primary Care Network currently employs four nursing associates working across our six GP practices to help deliver meaningful person-centered care to all patients across the PCN. 

Nursing Associates are here to help support all individuals with all aspects of care, including:

• Health and lifestyle promotion
• Chronic disease management
• Health prevention
• Childhood immunisations
• Cervical screening
• Flu, shingles, and pneumonia vaccinations
• Wound care and dressings
• ECG and bloods
