As of July 1, 2023, the title of nursing assistant will become a protected professional title. This means that you will need a certificate from the National Board of Health and Welfare to use the title of nursing assistant within healthcare and social services. For those offered employment with us at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, this means that the title in your employment contract will be nursing assistant instead of nursing assistant. You can apply for the certificate from July 1, 2023. If you do not have a certificate, you can continue to work in healthcare and social services, but without the title of nursing assistant.
