Abstract
Nursing associates have now been part of the health and social care system workforce in England for three years and research has begun to highlight the benefits and challenges as the role becomes embedded.
However, there has been less of a research focus on how various stakeholders have experienced the training aspects of this new role. This paper reports findings from interviews with stakeholders from an integrated care system in the North of England conducted at two time points, one year apart. Findings focus on three themes: workforce and education planning; role ambiguity; and support.
The article highlights how clarity of role, understanding of support needs and discussions around career aspirations are essential for all organisations involved in trainee nursing associate programme development and delivery. It also shows the need for good partnership working across health and education sectors to adequately support both the TNAs and those working with them.
