In a challenging global healthcare climate, new workforce models are required to address the ongoing shortfall in the number of nurses. One way of addressing the workforce crisis in the NHS has been to introduce the roles of nursing associate and assistant practitioner, which are designed to support registered healthcare professionals in their work and 'bridge the gap' between registered professionals and support workers. This article examines the leadership skills required of nurses when seeking to embed these roles in practice, and the leadership skills assistant practitioners and nursing associates themselves need to take their place in the team. The author also discusses the need for nurses to adopt a relational leadership style, hone their delegation skills and foster a climate of psychological safety for their assistant practitioner and nursing associate colleagues.
在充满挑战的全球医疗环境中，需要新的劳动力模式来应对护士数量持续短缺的问题。解决英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）劳动力危机的一种方法是引入护理助理和助理执业医师的角色，这些角色旨在支持注册医疗专业人员的工作，并“弥合”注册专业人员与辅助人员之间的差距。本文探讨了护士在寻求将这些角色融入实践时所需的领导技能，以及助理执业医师和护理助理自身在团队中立足所需的领导技能。作者还讨论了护士采用关系型领导风格、磨练其授权技能以及为其助理执业医师和护理助理同事营造心理安全氛围的必要性。
