A webinar is going to be hosted by various NHS employees and it’s going to invite any attendees to hear from the various trusts and how they are going to enable nursing colleagues to administer drugs in some areas. This would be a step that is yet to be taken. The role of nursing has been very controversial since it mooted back in the year 2015 and this is going to be a part of the Health Education of England’s review. The role of the nursing associates might have been controversial for quite some time but the pilot programme may be looking to change this. They have around 2,000 trainee nursing associates and this was launched in the year 2017. The first of them began working in the NHS in January. Of course, nurses have to support registered nurses and they have an essential role to play when it comes to healthcare assistants and the future that they have in the industry. This is very exciting to say the least and it just goes to show how things have changed for the better.
Giving IV Drugs by Nurses Comes under Spotlight
Trusts are always increasing the amount of potential when it comes to nursing associates and how they give drugs intravenously. This is sparking various warnings when it comes to the ambiguity and the roles with what they are permitted to do. The debate has been reignited this week during the event. People are going to be able to share their views on how nurses give IV drugs. With all nurses and healthcare professionals, it’s safe to say that it is important that skills and opinions are shared. If you look at homecare nursing or even private nursing then it’s safe to say that this is going to have a huge impact on the industry as we know it.
