The profession in detail: What does a Healthcare Assistant EFZ do?

Healthcare Assistants EFZ are the backbone of everyday nursing care. They take on tasks such as basic care, support with personal hygiene and mobilization, and accompany people empathetically through the day. Furthermore, they perform medical-technical tasks: they measure vital signs, administer medication according to prescription, change simple dressings, and carefully document every observation in the nursing system.

The basis is the three-year vocational basic training with a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (EFZ). After that, many paths are open: the shortened HF training to become a registered nursing professional, specialization in long-term care, or the role as a vocational trainer for apprentices. According to the career portal gesundheitsberufe.ch (https://www.gesundheitsberufe.ch), it is one of the strongest foundations in the Swiss healthcare system.
