What I need is a list of all professions and sub-professions within health. It would be easiest in a spreadsheet. - or maybe just here in this Wiki. Everyone can edit these green posts - just look for the under the text of the post.
Clinicians - sorted!
Non-clinicians who are in direct health roles with patient contact of some sort (eg ward clerks, secretaries, porters)
Indirect non-clinicians (most of our IT colleagues, etc)
Suppliers
Consumers / consumer advocates
Who can help? I’ll @mention you in this post next to the one you can help with - or you can yourself as it is a Wiki
Keen to be of whatever help I can. Nursing is relatively large and we do have quite a few sub groups, however in our favour is that most role titles are fairly (but obviously not completely) similar. Issue could be the non-DHB groups though, wonder if there is anyone out there from nursing in community settings (ARC, Primary etc.) that can advise ? Happy to help coordinate definitely but might need some help.
Unfussy. What I need to do is cut and paste the text names into fields. Excel spreadsheet, a wiki or post in Discourse, word document, whatever. I just want someone else to do it.
OK nathan, here goes to get started. I have made sure this list is aligned with the ANZSCO list mentioned by @mike_bainbridge also. There is an explanation for each level as there maybe roles in community organisations that still fit but are called something else.
Registered Nurses (RN )
Nurse Manager (any nurse with a management role including budgeting, staffing and recruitment, may have little or no clinical component to role) e.g.
Director of Nursing, Nursing Clinical Director, Associate Director of Nursing,
Clinical Nurse Manager, Nurse Manager, Team leader, Duty Nurse Manager
Associate Nurse Manager
Nurse Coordinator
Senior RN (on the senior nurse MECA but still has some clinical component to the role and little or no management) e.g.
Clinical Nurse Specialist
Specialist clinical nurse
Nurse Educator
Nurse Prescriber
Nurse Researcher
RN (any registered nurse with a current registration, may also hold other registrations e.g. midwifery, not in a senior role or paid on the senior nurse MECA)
Registered Nurse
New graduate nurse
Enrolled nurse
Enrolled nurse
Nurse Assistants
Nurse Practitioner or NP(registered as an NP but may or may not be working in a NP role).
You should use the ANZSCO v1.3 that’s the official occupation list used by Stats NZ as for the classifications of Occupations… Health tree is on the subcode 25 list. Community healthcare is 40 series . Available in Excel as a filter!
Great idea to link to the ANZSCO codes. Yes, you will find that there are more ASHT professions/occupations than in the codes, approx 54 in total. Also they are just the profession/occupation names, not the granulatity such as new grad, rotational, staff grade, senior, team leader, clinical leader, professional leader, educator, coach, manager etc. most groups also have a career path with roles within such as the nursing structure. It really depends what level you want to go down to. I’ve asked NDAHs to come back to me urgently by the end of the week.
In case if anybody is wondering, I’ve just found out that the Health Provider Index does not currently hold contact details; they are kept by all of the relevant councils on their own databases. While they are theoretically accessible, it wouldn’t be a fast process.
