I assist nurses with the direct care of dialysis patients. My duties include taking observations, monitoring blood sugar and blood gases, and performing arteriovenous fistula cannulation. I am always careful to report any health changes or out-of-range observations to senior clinical staff immediately.
I accurately record pertinent patient information on electronic clinical systems, ensuring records are clear, up to date, and maintained in line with confidentiality and data protection policies.
I strictly follow infection control standards, such as proper handwashing and hygiene practices, to protect patient health and safety.
I work closely with multidisciplinary team such as doctors, nurses, social workers and physios to deliver holistic care.
I adapt my communication style to different people—whether speaking with doctors or patients—and I know how important it is to build trust with service users to achieve the best outcome.
I assist doctors during medical procedures, such as line insertions for dialysis access. During these procedures, I support patients who are feeling anxious by keeping them calm and reassured, while simultaneously passing equipment to doctors and keeping the work area sterile and safe.
I deliver personal care focused on individual needs, preserving patient dignity and self-esteem.
I also assist in various administrative duties, such as booking transport for patients, answering the telephone, and sending out letters for medical appointments.
