Meet Kerrie, one of our newest HCAs
Kerrie Simpson is enjoying her role as a Healthcare Assistant and, having worked in hospitals for years, she is enjoying the transition to General Practice.
Kerrie, who has been working at the Hereward Practice for just over three months, said: 'As an HCA I do bloods, ECGs and am going on a course to do wound care. I work with everyone and the whole team is brilliant and help each other out.
'I have been an HCA for six or seven years. I like the interaction and, as a HCA you do get more hands-on. It is about building a rapport with patients, they get to know who you are, especially the regular ones so it is different to hospital nursing. My favourite part of the job is taking blood, I really enjoy that and I will take every opportunity I can to help out and learn.
