The region initiates a process to define the need and methods for integrating the new professional role.
The Liguria Region has officially initiated the process to introduce the role of nursing assistant into its regional healthcare service. The Regional Health Councilor, Massimo Nicolò, announced that the next steps will involve identifying professional needs, defining care areas, and organizing training programs in line with national standards.
The process will involve close collaboration with the University of Genoa and regional institutions, including the IRCCS (Scientific Institutes for Hospitalization and Care). The first phase will focus on defining regional professional and training needs, identifying employment contexts in both territorial and hospital settings, and establishing corresponding operational standards.
The nursing assistant is a nationally established healthcare professional role, which individual regions must now integrate into their own healthcare systems. Its introduction addresses the need to strengthen both community and hospital healthcare, covering specific care needs that require basic nursing skills distinct from those of a professional nurse.
The implementation process begins with regional planning, which must adapt the national role to the local context. Liguria, as the first region to formally start this process, is defining where and how these professionals can work, in which services they will be most useful, and what specific training they must receive to meet the actual needs of the territory, in collaboration with universities and regional healthcare facilities.
