University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust40 enrolled

Overview

The study will utilise focus groups with trained PNAs from different Trusts spread over the Midlands region within England. This approach will help explore the experiences and views of trained PNAs in the application of the role and the foundations on which it is supported. It will also supply valuable feedback regarding the preparation, implementation, and outcome of adopting the PNA position with health care organisations, as there is a suggestion that the role could expand from England to the United Kingdom and possibly the United States of America.
