This article describes how registered nurses in the United Kingdom (UK) delegate some nursing activities to support workers who assist them in providing nursing care. The global shortage of qualified nurses and the ageing nursing population has resulted in a growing dependency on non-qualified personnel to provide certain aspects of patient care within the care setting. The authors begin this article by presenting the differing nursing staff roles in the UK along with the legal and professional aspect of delegation. Next they discuss the benefits, facilitators, and barriers. They conclude by describing the changes in role expectations, the variety of nursing settings in which delegation occurs, and nursing delegation challenges within the UK.
