HCA's are required to bring a copy of their job description and be able to identify a suitably qualified member of their team who will support ongoing assessment and supervision.

If you have special dietary needs, including vegetarian, please let us know as soon as possible as lunches will be individually boxed.

If possible, please bring a manual blood pressure monitor, stethoscope and blood glucose testing sets with finger pricks, ideally unistix. This is so you can practice with the actual equipment from your workplace. If you can't bring equipment, that is fine.
