The Regulation of Health Care Support Workers
The RCN has a clear view that all HCSWs should be regulated in the interests of public protection and patient safety. Further we believe that HCSWs who deliver direct clinical care alongside registered nurses in the nursing team should be regulated by the nursing regulatory body, the NMC . However we acknowledge the complexities that surround implementation of HCSW regulation. Therefore the RCN believes a pragmatic first step forwards in an evolutionary process towards HCSW regulation is the regulation of assistant practitioners in nursing by the NMC.
