Yes, and it is a moderate move. A clinical psychologist already covers 64% of what a healthcare assistant is expected to do: 25 skills carry over, 23 of which the healthcare assistant role treats as required.

9 required skills are missing, plus 12 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is convey medical routine information.

Its learning distance is 46 out of 100, which is the moderate band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
