RRB Paramedical exam presents a golden chance for students who have completed paramedical courses that include nursing, pharmacy, lab technology, etc. Let's understand the workings of paramedical staff.
What is Paramedical Staff and Why They Are Important
Paramedical staff are people who support doctors and nurses in hospitals. They are not doctors but they perform very important work such as giving injections, checking patient's blood pressure, doing lab tests, providing medicines and assisting during operations. Some examples of paramedical personnel include Staff Nurse, Pharmacist, Lab Technician, Radiographer, and Health Inspector.
All of these paramedical personnel play a very crucial part in the healthcare industry. They look after patients, particularly during emergencies. In small towns and villages, often they are the ones delivering treatments during the initial stages before the doctor arrives. They work day and night to help sick and injured people. In fact, the hospital cannot function efficiently without them. Their service is all about dedication, and that's why this profession earns you respect in society and very feeling of satisfaction in the heart.
Railway Recruitment Boards, Ministry of Railways, invites online applications from eligible candidates for the recruitment of various posts of paramedical categories.
