What does the day look like?
You help patients wash, manage oral hygiene, change incontinence pads, eat, drink and use the toilet. You turn bed-bound patients every 2 hours and use slide sheets, Sara Stedy aids or Arjo hoists to move them between beds, wheelchairs and commodes. You take observations with Welch Allyn Connex monitors, Braun ThermoScan thermometers, pulse oximeters and blood glucose meters, then record them in Epic, Cerner Millennium or paper NEWS2 charts. You cannot give intravenous medicines, triage independently, insert urinary catheters or change treatment plans.
About 60%–70% of the shift is demanding physical care, cleaning bodily fluids and handling waste. Measurements and documentation take 15%–20%, restocking and handovers take 10%, and conversation or emotional support takes 10%–15%. Hospitals use 12-hour shifts such as 07:00–19:30 and 19:00–07:30, or an 8-hour 3-shift rota. Nights, weekends and public holidays are normal.
