The nurses of Holby City Hospital are staff who tend to patients for minor injuries and assist the doctors, registrars and consultants around the department in administering medicine.
Nurses are required to wear blue scrubs for work. Charlie wore dark blue scrubs as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner alongside his position of Senior Charge Nurse. Meanwhile, Jodie Whyte and Cam Mickelthwaite wear regular light blue scrubs as they are staff nurses. Tess Bateman wore the same colour of scrubs as Charlie, which at the time were lighter blue scrubs, as well as wearing the clinical nurse manager uniform which was a dark blue shirt with a thick white line around the cuffs and neck.
Donna Jackson was the first to wear a new nurse uniform which is a red shirt with a thick dark blue line around the cuffs and neck. (as clinical nurse manager)
The clinical nurse manager of the emergency department is in charge of the nurses, their duties also include enforcing the code of conduct, managing rotas and reporting back to the Clinical Lead. When Rita Freeman left Holby, the role of acting clinical nurse manager went to Jacob Masters, although he wasn't formally given the role until after eventually being selected by Henrik Hanssen. When Jacob resigned, Charlie became clinical nurse manager once again and still had the role of Emergency Nurse Practitioner.
In 2024, Siobhan McKenzie became the first nurse to be appointed as clinical lead of the emergency department while also appointed as clinical nurse manager simultaneously.
On the wards of the hospital, the nurses report to the Director of Nursing who is Madge Britton.
