infirmier(ă)
Explanation:
Este mai jos în rang decât asistenta medicală (nurse, registered nurse) şi mai sus decât femeia de serviciu, care doar face curat şi nu se ocupă de bolnavi:

As a ***healthcare assistant*** your duties could include:
helping patients to wash or shower
serving food and, if necessary, helping patients to eat
making and changing beds
turning patients who are confined to bed to avoid pressure sores
talking with patients to help them feel less lonely or anxious
helping patients with mobility problems to move around
helping patients to the toilet, giving out and collecting bedpans
making sure the ward or patients’ home is tidy, and supplies and equipment are in place
taking and recording temperature, pulse and respiration.

In hospitals you may also escort patients between departments.

Deci are exact aceleaşi atribuţii ca infirmierii / infirmierele în spitale la noi în Rom#nia.

Employment of nurses

The National Health Service is the provider of almost all healthcare in the United Kingdom, and employs the vast majority of UK nurses and midwives which number 386,000 according to the Department of Health.

The nursing staff is split into two main groups:
Non-registered staff
- e.g. auxiliary nurses and ***healthcare assistants***.
Registered staff (split into four further groups)
- First level nurses.
- Second level nurses.
- Specialist nurses.
- Managers.

Non-registered staff

These staff can be found carrying out a number of roles, attracting various titles such as auxiliary nurse, ***healthcare assistant (HCA)***, clinical support worker, care assistant and nursing assistant. These titles all describe workers who work in direct patient care (often on wards), performing tasks such as personal care (washing and dressing), social care (feeding, talking to patients & generally spending time with them) and recording observations (such as measuring blood pressure).

Some unregistered staff can work in more specialised roles, for example as phlebotomists (taking blood samples) and ECG technicians (recording ECGs). Others can expand their ward-based role to include these tasks (and others). Technically, there are few areas of nursing practice that cannot be legally performed by suitably trained non-registered staff, although they cannot fully replace them, as they legally must be supervised (either directly or indirectly) by a fully qualified registered nurse.

Ingrijitor pentru batrini sau persoane cu handicapuri


Explanation:
Aceste persoane se ocupa si de ingrijirea si igiena personala, pe cind un asistent medical nu desfasoara aceste tipuri de servicii.

Health care assistant lucreaza si in casele particulare ale persoanelor sau in locuri special amenajate pentru ingrijirea lor,nu neaparat in spitale, unde intr-adevar se numesc infirmieri.Cind un health carer assistant lucreaza pentru cineva el este instruit si pentru fizioterapie, ceea ce ma indoiesc ca face un infirmier.
