Are you caring, patient and always looking to help others?
Looking after people with an illness or disability brings with it a high level of personal satisfaction and the respect of friends, family and the health care professionals you work with.
This is a rewarding career where your dedication and achievements will be recognised, not least by the patients you help. There are many career opportunities in a range of health care facilities where you can apply the skills you will learn through DCAs Health Care Assistant course.
Health Care Assistants provide vital support in medical situations ranging from serving meals and helping patients with their daily routine through to taking their temperature, pulse, respiration rate and blood pressure. You will also help doctors and nurses - and earn their thanks - by observing your patients physical, mental and emotional condition and reporting changes.
Course includes:
Nutrition, the digestive system and related care
Special needs patients and surgical procedures
Procedures for measuring vital signs
Infection control and general safety measures
Working in the home health care field
Emergency care and specific guidelines
Anatomy and physiology of the human body
