Spanish to English translations [PRO] Medical - Education / Pedagogy / professional titles
Spanish term or phrase: Ayudante Técnico Sanitario (A.T.S.) Medical Assistant? Nurses' Aide? Technical Health Aide? The term I'm translating is in the name of a school: "Escuela de Aydantes Técnicos Sanitarios" and also the job title. I have included the section below because is actually had some context. This is from Spain Las funciones a desarrollar por las Enfermeras y Ayudantes Técnicos Sanitarios en las Instituciones cerradas serán: 1.- Ejercer las funciones de auxiliar del médico, cumplimentando las instrucciones que por escrito o verbalmente reciban de aquél. 2.- Cumplimentar la terapéutica prescrita por los facultativos encargados de la asistencia, así como aplicar la medicación correspondiente. 3.- Auxiliar al personal médico en las intervenciones quirúrgicas, practicar las curas de los operados y prestar los servicios de asistencia inmediata en los casos de urgencia hasta la llegada del Médico. 4.- Observar y recoger los datos clínicos necesarios para la correcta vigilancia de los pacientes.
