Healthcare Assistant Holding Cardiovascular Intervention Center

As a healthcare assistant, you relieve the burden of our patients and nurses. You have an important role in our department and a wide range of tasks. For example, you support patients with dressing before and after the procedure, assist with serving food and drinks, and help with the preparation of transport when a patient moves to another department. You ensure that the rooms are neatly replenished, beds are cleaned and made, and that the department is spotless. In short, you are the nurse's right hand and have an indispensable role in our patients' recovery process.

You provide care to patients coming for a procedure in the Cardiac Catheterization Rooms (CCR) or angio rooms (radiology) of our cardiovascular intervention center (CVIC) currently under construction, of which the Holding is a part. In the Holding, you will see patients coming for, for example, cardiac catheterizations, angioplasty procedures, ICD or pacemaker changes or implantations, ablations, and interclinical MRI and CT scans.

Performing minor nursing tasks may also be part of your duties after you have completed training for them. Think, for example, of performing an ECG or measuring blood pressure.
