What nobody usually tells you

Structurally growing demand for twenty years: one of the few certain demographic curves. But it's emotionally heavy and the line with medical care must be respected exactly.

The route, in five steps

  1. Check carefully where non-medical help ends
  2. Get a criminal record certificate and insurance
  3. Introduce yourself to two GPs and a pharmacy
  4. Start with two families on fixed hours
  5. Build a network of stand-ins so you never miss a slot
