Clinical nurse support roles bridge theory-practice gaps for UK university and NHS managers, though student reception varies. These roles, while valuable, present challenges for the support staff themselves.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Management
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Clinical nurses in support roles are crucial for bridging academic and practical healthcare training.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of these roles is vital for optimizing student learning and professional development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of clinical nurse support roles in a UK higher education institution and its linked NHS Trusts.
  • To understand the perspectives of support nurses, managers, and students on these roles.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative data collection through focus groups and telephone interviews.
  • Involved clinical support nurses, senior nurse managers, and pre- and post-registration nursing students.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • High personal commitment from support staff was observed.
  • Support nurses provided valuable, up-to-date clinical input to teaching.
  • Managers recognized the importance of the university-clinical link role.
  • Student opinions were mixed; pre-registration students had limited exposure, while post-registration students sometimes found the support unnecessary.
  • Support staff reported role conflict and overload balancing education and clinical duties.

Conclusions:

  • The clinical support roles effectively bridged the theory-practice gap for university and NHS Trust managers.
  • The roles were less effective for students, particularly those with prior experience.
  • Improvements are needed, including regular liaison meetings, joint appraisals, and formal support mechanisms for role occupants.
  • These roles were successful but came at a personal cost to the role holders.
