Who are healthcare personnel/workers?


Anyone who works in a healthcare or social care setting, including students in healthcare on clinical placement, frontline healthcare professionals, and other healthcare personnel who do not have direct patient contact, is considered a healthcare worker.

These settings include, but are not limited to, state-funded and private organizations that provide services in the following areas: acute (a patient is treated for a brief but severe episode of illness) and non-acute (specialized multidisciplinary care in which the primary need for care is the optimization of the patient's functioning and quality of life) hospitals, community hospitals, disability, elderly people, nursing homes, palliative care, mental health, etc.

Some examples of healthcare workers are clerks, cleaners and technicians of a given hospital, doctors, radiographers, nurses, optometrists, nutritionists, physiologists, dentists, clinical psychologists and others.
