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

In daily nursing life, Specialists in Healthcare EFZ are the supporting force. They take over, for example, basic care, also support with personal hygiene and mobilization, and accompany people empathically through the day. Furthermore, they perform medical-technical procedures: they measure vital signs, administer medication according to prescription, change simple dressings, and document every observation carefully 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 specialist, specialization in long-term care, or the role as a vocational trainer for apprentices. Therefore, according to the professional portal gesundheitsberufe.ch (https://www.gesundheitsberufe.ch), the FaGe qualification is considered one of the strongest foundations in the Swiss healthcare system.
