政府指為持續支持業界穩健發展、挽留人才，將增設一個專為社福界而設的全新專業護理崗位「護理保健師」。在維持現行法定人手要求不變的前提下，將「護理保健師」新職級引入相關規例，院舍可聘用登記護士或「護理保健師」以符合有關法定人手要求。意味著聘請「護理保健師」則不需要聘請登記護士，故此院舍護士憂就業機會受影響。
除此之外，院舍於處理人手編更時，要謹記將登記護士及「護理保健師」的人手一恲計算，以確保該職級人手符合法例最低要求。

The government stated that to continue supporting the stable development of the industry and retain talent, a new professional nursing position called “Health & Care Practitioner” will be introduced specifically for the social welfare sector. While maintaining the current legal staffing requirements, the new “Health & Care Practitioner” role will be incorporated into relevant regulations, allowing care homes to hire registered nurses or “Health & Care Practitioner” to meet the legal staffing requirements. This means that hiring a “Health & Care Practitioner” would eliminate the need to hire a registered nurse, leading care home nurses to worry about the impact on their employment opportunities.
Additionally, when managing staff rostering, care homes will need to ensure that they account for both registered nurses and “Health & Care Practitioner” to meet the legal minimum staffing requirements for these positions.
