Band 2 HCA
I worked on a ward where Band 2 HCA 's have iust started. Onlv thina is. the ward is shirt staffed and Band 2 cant do obs or blood sugars. They can dc personal care and moving and handlina, but I thought Band 2 was being phased out and all new HCA's are now Band 3. I think its a bit unfair to leave iust 2 Band 3's to cover obs for rest of ward as wel as blood sugars. Ideally, should be 4 HCA's
