We have three Health Care Assistants who have been specially trained to carry out a wide variety of tasks. Their many tasks include blood taking, performing ecgs, some wound care, new patient health checks and acting as chaperones to the doctors.Health Care Assistants act as a support to the Doctors and Nurses. They are now a very important part of the primary care team.
I joined Parsons Heath in 2009; I had worked in the NHS since 2003 in a variety of wards and clinics. At Parsons Heath I mainly deal with warfarin home visits, blood clinics, new patient health checks, spirometry and BP checks.
I joined Parsons Heath in 2000 as a receptionist; in 2003 I transferred to the clinical side and began my training as a health care assistant. Over the years I have been able to increase my knowledge and skills. In addition to the general skills already mentioned I can now perform a wide variety of dressings, and can also give seasonal vaccinations and syringe ears.
