These people cannot afford to be treated with anything less than the upmost care and respect; it is for this reason that there should be a minimum standard of training for healthcare assistants to be able to work unsupervised. A minimum standard of training before working unsupervised will ensure that carers will have the skills needed to provide the correct and necessary care for patients without having to be supervised. It should be compulsory for healthcare assistants in training to be supervised at all times when working as, if mistakes are made, they may not be able to make amends and this could be fatal for patients. The lack of a minimum of standard of training means that there is nothing stopping healthcare assistants with insufficient training and experience being put in charge of the care of vulnerable patients. Having carers with insufficient training in charge of the care of patients, some of whom may have complex cases, may very well be life threatening.
