What type of qualities would you want your health care worker to have.

Like compassion, good social skills. ETC.

And if you can how do those qualities help make a good health care worker?

I think being non judgemental is extremely important. You want to be able to talk to your health care professionals without feeling embarrassed or like you’re scum. empathy is important too, put yourself in your clients shoes so you can understand how they feel and so you can explain things to them in language they will understand.

the most important things you want from a health care professional is good treatment and to do that you need to understand what is wrong and what needs to be done about it and you want to feel like what you say is not being judged and no one else will find out about it which comes down to the health care workers attitude and whether it inspires trust. and both of these come from a good, non judgemental attitued and empathy
