Hi,

You could check the ANA texbook, but if they haven't passed an ANA course, are they an ANA? Just wondering as there are lots of QANA and not sure whether if this person hasn't should they have a different title?

Only registered/listed nurses and registered students can undertake Schedule 3 procedures. Unregistered, unqualified staff, no matter how experienced, should not be carrying out these procedures (This doesn't include anaesthesia)

In this situation you MUST refer to the Code of Professional Conduct and Schedule 3 Guidance. You can view everything on the RCVS website:
