A healthcare support worker delivers assistance to health care providers like nurses, doctors,
surgeons. The main responsibilities of a healthcare support worker include making beds
washing patients, serving food, and assisting the patient with movement. They learn different
skills and gather information about the profession (NHS, 2018). In this essay, my
expectations about things I will learn in the university and associated methods will be
discussed. How it will differ from my experience of learning will also be mentioned.
A healthcare support worker performs different functions throughout the day ranging from
heling the patient to do the daily task of assisting doctors in medical procedures. Therefore,
they must learn different skills in their university. Most of the students perusing the
healthcare support worker course expect the university to teach them these skills (Traynor et
al., 2015). My interest in the field also encourages me to perform well in a particular field.
Some of the skills I want to learn in the university are effective communication skills
including listening skills, organization skills, and writing skills. Communication skills are
necessary to develop a healthy relationship with the patient and other health care providers
(Singer, Benzer and Hamdan, 2015). It will allow me to learn from experienced health care
providers. Listening skills are necessary to communicate with the patient so that I can
understand what they are trying to say about their health and feelings. I am also expecting my
university to teach me about organization skills like staying focused on many tasks and apply
my time, energy, strength, psychological capacity, and efficiency to achieve the desired
outcomes. Writing skills will include academic writing, references, and plagiarism, and
presentation. I am also expecting the university to teach me about finding different research
articles and report writing. I will take help from the faculties to learn the skills and discuss
them with my fellow workers
