The CGE, General Nursing Council, has indicated its faithful commitment to “review the current regulations” and thus “adapt the official terminology to the current academic and professional reality of nursing,” as Europapress has reported.
The term ATS, health technical assistant, has been a term that has tried to be eradicated for decades, legally achieving its disappearance by Royal Decree in 1977.
As stated by the Junta de Castilla y León itself: “It is the commitment of this Administration to provide the Public Service with a new law that, among other issues, updates and adapts the legislation to the current context and regulations from a conceptual and terminological point of view.”
In this way, the aim is to respect the profession of 18,500 nurses in Castilla y León, as well as to recognize this problem and “culminate with the final regulatory update. Ultimately, this is a matter of institutional respect for a university profession that has evolved academically, scientifically and in terms of competence for decades”, as indicated by the president of the CGE, Florentino Pérez Raya.
