auxiliary nurse has an important job and will have a number of
responsibilities and duties to uphold throughout the working day.
In a hospital setting, while an auxiliary nurse will report to a healthcare professional, the key responsibility is to ensure that a
patient is comfortable. In a community setting, such as in our residential care home or assisted living facility, many patients are
incapacitated or disabled, with limited mobility, and so an auxiliary nurse will be required to conduct basic patient care. This will
include: washing and toileting patients, dressing patients, feeding at meal times, as well as logging food and fluid intake for patient
records, changing bed linen, making patients feel safe and secure in their surroundings.
A more experienced auxiliary nurse may also be required to conduct minor medical procedures, including: monitoring blood pressure, taking
temperatures, monitoring weight, in some cases, administering medication to patients, however this will often be supervised by a
medicator.
An auxiliary nurse acting as an assistant to a therapist will have a different range of responsibilities that are dependent on the field
within which they are working; this could include: setting up equipment for a therapy session, ensuring that a patient is calm and
prepared for a therapy session, assisting a therapist in administering treatment, administrative duties, including taking notes and ensuring
that patient records are accurate and up to date An auxiliary nurse working in a GP surgery will have slightly different responsibilities,
including: conducting health checks on patients, ensuring medical equipment is sterilized, restocking consulting rooms, processing and taking lab, urine and blood samples,
