Healthcare Assistants, often called HCAs, play a vital role in supporting nurses and other healthcare professionals in hospitals, care homes, and community settings across the UK. They help with the everyday care of patients, such as assisting with personal hygiene, helping with mobility, providing food and drink, taking basic observations like temperature and pulse, and offering emotional support. HCAs work closely with patients of all ages, and their work is essential for maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. Training is usually provided on the job, and it is possible to gain recognised qualifications such as the Care Certificate. Many Healthcare Assistants use this role as a stepping stone to further careers in nursing or other healthcare professions.
