Caring

Having a caring intuition is so important when working as a healthcare professional. You are the person who the service user will often see when they’re at their best and their worst.

The service users that Secure Healthcare support goes through a difficult time, and being supportive of them ensures their dignity is uplifted. As healthcare professionals, we should remember to ask if the service user or the individual you are providing a service of care to is in need of any support.

As a healthcare professional being observant is an important quality to have. If you are supporting an individual or service user with care and respect whether it’s in a community, private hospital, NHS, Nursing home, or in-home care setting, you should be able to notice signs that need to be raised to your attention.

qualities of care workers

Resilient

Being a healthcare professional resilience is the ability to recover from difficulties, working in the care sector is not an easy job so being able to show resilience is an important quality to show to never give up. The service users and the individuals you are providing a service of care to will know that you are confident in what you are doing.

Respectful

Individuals should be given dignity and respect. When providing a service of care, it is always good to show politeness and ask for their consent or if they need any privacy. Knocking on the door when entering the room and closing curtains and doors when needing to use the shower. Especially if you are working in an in-home care setting you are in the service users’ home, best practice is to respect their living space.

Sepsis causes the deaths of normally 5 per hour in the UK and an exceptionally large number worldwide. Sepsis is still one of the many diseases that can kill an overall healthy adult within hours. Our specialised trained nurses here at Secure Healthcare Solutions are well trained in all aspects of care and can provide a tailored service of care to you or your loved ones.

The key symptoms are confusing such as not passing urine as normal, they have temperatures either high or low; shivering uncontrollably and having the sweats; cold/blotched legs and arms. When faced with symptoms like these, becoming worse, a set of observations should be taken promptly.

Some of these symptoms can indicate shock and organ failure due to sepsis.

There are 2 significant factors of shock that can develop when you get sepsis:

Cold Shock

  • Cardiac output decreases due to sepsis-included dysfunctions the heart and the cardiovascular system
  • Initial constriction of small blood vessels may cause falsely reassuring normal blood pressure (it’ll be known in the fast heart rate)
  • Dropping in blood pressure
  • Your skin becomes blotchy/clammy and cold
  • The low cardiac input and result into the patient going into cardiac arrest

Warm Shock

  • Skin flushes due to sepsis-included dilation (small blood vessels)
  • Increases heart rate which maintains the increased cardiac output
  • Blood pressure will normally rise
  • Hypotensive cardiac arrest

Young children and infants and elderly people may have a non-specific symptom of sepsis which can be hard to diagnose but are rapidly progressive, with a high risk of death. Babies and young children can often show an advance state of shock. Patients or service users with known infections such as chest infections etc or risk factors due to underlying conditions are particularly vulnerable.

Risk assessment and good basic observations are the best way to find out if the patient has sepsis or if they just have a simple infection. If the patient or service user looks seriously ill, consider sepsis, and report a review to be held with clinical team.

Health professionals should retain they key symptoms, ensure early diagnosis, effective communication, and quick and simple treatments so that patients’ chances of survival increase.

At Secure Healthcare Solutions we often get permanent registered nurses who contact us looking to move forward with our agency. Most of the time nurses can be a little hesitant about coming into an agency nurse role. Stepping away from the familiarity and security of a permanent position can put a lot of registered nurses off but this shouldn’t.

One of the benefits of being an agency nurse is that when you’re registered the pay rates are often better. Hourly rates are higher in comparison to permanent bank staff members. This is normally 66% more than bank staff which is considerably higher.

Secondly, bank holidays can be higher especially if you are a registered nurse like working long days making your earnings incredibly higher. But these can be on a last-minute basis. Clients often compensate agency nurses for this and the possibility for this and that a shift may be canceled. Hence why there are a lot of registered nurses tending to work with an agency such as Secure Healthcare.

Sometimes it doesn’t always go to plan. Has an agency canceled on you last minute? If you are happy working days and nights and weekends and don’t matter if you work in different locations then being a flexible agency nurse is for you!

You can work with different trusts with whoever you want if you don’t like working in one environment.

Working as an agency nurse it is known that the work-life balance is immaculate which is very important, where you can fit your family and lifestyle around your work.

As an agency nurse, you simply conduct your shift and then go home after your handover, there is less stress being put on rather than a bank staff permanent nurse.

This is due to bank nurses generally getting worked to the point of getting burnt, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In comparison as an agency nurse, the pressure is extremely less.

As an agency registered nurse, there is no additional stress or workload that comes with being a permanent member of staff working directly for trust, which may include doing external admin tasks such as stock filling, emailing the CCG, and dealing with complaints.
Another key benefit of working as an agency nurse is that you get more flexible hours, you can work long days, short days, nights, and weekends whenever you want to work around your home lifestyle.

Working In different environments instead of one environment will let you socialize more with other people not just one set of a team. Another reason why Registered nurses tend to work with agencies instead of permanent bank staff.

Secure Healthcare Solutions encourages a Healthy lifestyle for our field staff to keep their well-being up. Here are 5 tips on how to stay healthy:

Having an adequate amount of sleep is a major key to staying healthy for care workers and nurses. There are many benefits of getting enough sleep such as being able to think more clearly. As a Care worker or a nurse, this is vital as you are providing a service of care. Getting more sleep is healthy as it also reduces stress and puts you in a better mood. This has benefits as you will be face to face with clients and service users.

  • Avoiding harmful use of Alcohol

Not having a harmful amount of alcohol is a major benefit for staying healthy not just for care workers and nurses but for everyone in general. Drinking a harmful amount of alcohol has risks for weight gain, and it can interfere with memory and learning, which is a major key for care workers and nurses, keeping your mind clear so you are aware of what goes on in the shift and what you have done for night handovers and day handovers is key for either the carer or nurse who takes you off shift. Harmful alcohol intake can also lead to liver diseases and other severe chronic diseases. So, monitoring your intake of alcohol is a key tip for staying healthy for care workers and nurses.

Being a Healthcare Assistant means is a very meaningful and rewarding job. Most importantly you are a front-line worker ensuring quality care and support is provided to those who require it. Providing care and the support needed for service users either within their own homes or in a residential home. We appreciate every single Healthcare Assistant who dedicates their lives to helping others.

The 6 Cs of care:

  • Compassion
  • Commitment
  • Care
  • Competency
  • Courage
  • Communication

Amy is one of our Healthcare assistants:

“ I work as a healthcare assistant in residential care for the elderly and people who require mental support. A typical start to the day is 08:00 am just after a handover from the night staff. Normally they go room to room assisting the residents either getting out of bed or going to prep the food for them. Some sit in either chair or on the side of the bed while others stay in bed and then wait for their breakfast. After this is completed, we then proceed to help the patients get ready.”

Regular tasks that are performed by health care assistants are personal care, washing, and turning patients, (Secure Healthcare Solutions provide Basic life support and Manual Handling training for all staff which is needed). Toileting, Incontinence care, mobilizing, feeding. It can also include observation reports for any possible problems that may have occurred.

Being a Healthcare Assistant is a very rewarding job. Although the days follow a similar routine, it does vary. Healthcare Assistants play a hands-on role with the people they care for. Over time they tend to build relationships of trust and respect the individuals and their own families.

Working as a Healthcare Assistant can also be a bit stressful from time to time. Some tasks are not the most pleasant but it is necessary at the time. It can be both physically and emotionally demanding. Some of the clients you provide a service of care to require a high demand of assistance and you have to be able to deal with it inevitably, times it could be dealing with their deaths too. Healthcare assistants are involved in shift patterns and they also require 24-hour care.

My time working nights as a Healthcare Assistant (HCA)

“A Nightshift is a bit different from a day shift when working in care. Personally, I would say I prefer night shifts compared to the day shifts; I normally prefer working nights. During the night shifts, I normally start around 8 pm so this means I would come in a bit earlier around 20-30 minutes earlier. During this time, I would receive a handover on what was done on the day, make myself something to drink, and prepare any documentation needed.”

“ I have been working in the Care sectors for 3 years now and I can never of asked for a better and more rewarding job”

Secure Healthcare Solutions offers many positions of being a Healthcare Assistant in and around the west midlands area.
