“Helpful Others” are those who help in the education of other staff but who do not have a formal mentoring role (Eraut, 2007, p. 412). This theme explored the relationships between the student nurses and Healthcare Assistants (HCAs), and in particular, the understanding of the HCA role in learning and teaching, student experiences of working with HCAs, and the process and value of feedback and learning together. Five themes emerged; role relationships, accessibility, the experience of working with HCAs, feedback, and learning together.
