What Does Being a Healthcare Professional Mean to You?

8/2/2021

We wanted to know what being a Healthcare Professional means to our wonderful staff here at Wales England Care Ltd.

Here are a few of their incredible responses:

Ruthie - Healthcare Professional at Wales England Care Ltd
'I am honoured and proud to have earned a place as a Healthcare Professional, where I'm trusted, loved, and respected by those I support. They refer to me as their friend, dear carer, and part of their family.

I am their energy, their courage, and their strength when they are tired, fearful, or frail. I'm full of pride and praise in all that we/they achieve small or big, and always encourage them to do whatever is needed. I am privileged to have their trust and to be their eyes, ears, arms, and legs when theirs are failing or will not cooperate. I am trusted to be their voice when they are unsure or scared.

I'm honoured to always lend an ear to listen and a shoulder to lean on to cry. I cherish that they want to confide and share their knowledge, life experiences, memories (past and present) and make me part of their life story.

Being a Healthcare Professional isn't just about medicine, soap, and water, it's about life. It's about bringing sunshine into their lives even on the darkest of rainy days. If I can achieve one small piece of normality, joy, understanding, happiness, or support and help make someone's life better, this is what being a Healthcare Professional means to me.'

Jake - Healthcare Professional at Wales England Care Ltd
'Being a Healthcare Professional means so much to me. Especially when I go home at the end of the day knowing that I've provided the best possible care. I always want to make sure that our Service Users can spend their remaining years in comfort and happiness.'

'I like making a difference to someone’s life, even if it’s just doing something small to help out.'

'I love being a Healthcare Professional, it is an amazing feeling. There's nothing better than seeing someone smile and knowing that you helped make it happen. You learn something new every day and every day is different. It helps you grow as a person as well as professionally. I absolutely love my job.'

'It is so much more than a job. It’s so rewarding knowing that you've helped someone live their last days/weeks/months/years in the comfort of their own home. You've helped them with as much independence as possible and shared many smiles and laughs together.

It is being someone’s friend when they are lonely or just in need of someone to be there. You are there to be a support when they feel weak or sad. It is the hope that when you get to your Service Users ages, you will have someone there for you just like you were there for them.'

Jessica - Healthcare Professional at Wales England Care Ltd
'I love being a Healthcare Professional because it's very rewarding. When I go home after a shift knowing that I've made a difference in someone's life is amazing. When I know that the Service User has been cleaned, fed, and hydrated makes this job worthwhile.

Also, I could be the only person that my Service User sees all day, so it's important to me that we have a chat and some laughs. Plus, seeing the service user smile makes my whole day.

Maintaining the Service Users' dignity and keeping them safe and in their own homes is so important to me. I would never want a service user to feel anything but care and respect from myself.

I love my job, and I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else.'

Ellie - Healthcare Professional at Wales England Care Ltd
'I love being a Healthcare Professional because it's an extremely rewarding job. I love being able to say I have helped and supported people that needed it. I always want people to say that I've helped them feel comfortable and clean.

I always want to make sure that I'm leaving the Service User feeling happy and they've been treated with the utmost respect.

I love this job because the Service Users are very kind. I also think that sometimes we are the only people they see, so they treat us like their family.'
