This ranges from carrying out the care assessment (initial assessment) through to planning, organising and implementing care measures, right through to reviewing the results and documenting them. Communication with the team and other professionals is very important. Within the interdisciplinary team, you take on professional responsibility, act in an advisory capacity and fulfil your role as a mentor. Professionalism and human values such as empathy, compassion and sharing in others’ joy characterise your varied day-to-day work. Supporting relatives is also part of your role.
