The introduction of nationally standardised nursing assistant training has created a new generalist auxiliary occupation in the nursing sector, which then required a recalibration of tasks in the nursing team and of the associated qualifications mix. New development prospects for nursing staff without formal training and for nursing assistants have also emerged as a result of aspects such as statutory regulations relating to permeability. This article conceptually analyses the opportunities this brings for members of the profession and for nursing care overall.
