Who is the health care worker?
It is a professional figure established by the State-Regions Conference with the agreement of 22 February 2001. Its task is to carry out activities that help people to satisfy their basic needs, aimed at recovering, maintaining and developing the level of well-being, promoting their autonomy and self-determination.
Professional outlets
The work environment of the OSS concerns both health structures (hospitals, clinics, local health authorities, public and private health service providers) and social structures (integrated day centres, rest homes, home assistance, recovery communities, family homes, community accommodation); the socio-medical operator therefore collaborates in his working environment with professionals in the social area (social workers, educators) and in the health area (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, etc.).
