“I save lives with my keen eyes.”

"At our Health Monitoring Station, I observe for any abnormalities in my patients’ blood pressure levels and pulse rates so I can quickly refer them to our medical staff.

During my triage duties, if I suspect a patient has contracted an infectious disease, I will check his or her recent travel history thoroughly before isolating the patient for checks.

I will also look out for patients who have difficulty walking and offer them a wheelchair as well as activate the falls risk alert in our system so my colleagues will take extra care when assisting the patient."
