Nursing in the UK
The work of Nurses and Doctors in the UK
Medical services are not organized in identical ways in every country so the following article
gives you an outline of the work of nurses in the UK.
A. Nurses
A nurse’s job is basically the same in the UK as it is everywhere. It includes:
Observing patients and assessing their response to treatment.
Counseling patients and their relatives.
Taking temperatures, blood pressure and respiration rates.
Doing physical examination
Preparing instruments
Administering drugs, injection, blood transfusion and drips
Cleaning and dressing wounds
Bandaging and splinting
Preparing and handing instruments to surgeons in the operating theatre.
Operating equipment such as life support system and renal dialysis machines.
The Healthcare Assistant (also known as Nursing Auxiliary) does the routine nursing tasks
such as making bed and giving personal hygiene to patients confined to bed. A Registered Nurse
does theses tasks only for severely ill patients. The Healthcare Assistant is responsible for changing
incontinence pads, sanitary towels and nappies, helping patients feed themselves, taking
temperatures, checking pulse rates and respiration and noting them on the reports.
A District Nurse is a nurse who visits people in their homes or residential care homes. A
District Nurse trains patients to administer their own treatments.
Practice Nurses work in General Practitioner (GP)’s surgeries. They treat minor injuries and help
with the operation done under local anesthetic. A Practice Nurse does health screening, family
planning, bereavement counseling and immunizations and gives advice to patients who want to give
up smoking or lose weight. A Practice Nurse carries out investigations using electro diagrams, gives
hearing test and takes blood samples. A Practice Nurse sometimes holds clinics for people with
diabetes and asthma.
A Psychiatric Nurse works with patients with conditions including personality disorder,
neuroses, phobic conditions, and acute anxiety, alcohol dependency, severe eating disorder and
depression. A Psychiatric Nurse works in a multidisciplinary team with Psychiatrists, Clinical
Psychologists, Health Visitors and Psychiatric Social Workers.
The Psychiatric Nurse’s major role is to establish therapeutic relationship with patients. The
Psychiatric uses counseling, group therapy, role play, drama and discussion groups. A Psychiatric
Nurse also gives patients drugs and injections. Seven percent nurses in the UK are men and many of
them work as Psychiatric Nurses.
A Heath Visitor is a nurse who works to prevent illness. A Health Visitor supports young
mothers and their babies and visits patients with all kinds of chronic illness and disabilities in the
patients’ own home.
B. Doctors
The General Practitioner (also known as the family doctors or GP) works from a surgery.
The GP’s main task is to diagnose and advise patients. The GP prescribes medicines, does minor
surgery and refers patients to hospital specialists, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, or
speech therapists. The GP also does things like certifying a state of health for Social Security
purposes, insurances companies and employers, and signing death certificates. The GP is involved in
immunization and check on the development of babies. A big general practice not only employ
doctors but also nurses, Health Visitors, Midwives and Psychotherapists.
There are several hospital doctor grades. A trainee doctor is known as a House Officer. The House
Officer becomes a Senior House Officer and later a Specialist Registrar. At the top of the hospital
ladder is the Consultant.
