Abstract

The important role of health care assistants is being undermined within the UK National Health Service, which fails to recognize the career aspirations and educational needs of a vital group of nursing staff. Up to 83,000 health care assistants in the UK work long hours and undertake menial tasks for a salary of 6,500 pounds sterling. The government is seeking to encourage health care assistants to apply for nursing qualifications and better their status within society.
