Furthermore, they perform medical-technical tasks: they measure vital signs, administer medication according to prescription, change simple dressings, and carefully document every observation in the nursing system.
The basis is the three-year vocational basic training with a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (EFZ).
