Nurse responsible for general care to homeopath
A nurse responsible for general care already meets 54% of what the homeopath role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
49.6/ 100
1 How much of what a homeopath is expected to do is already part of a nurse responsible for general care’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the homeopath role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A homeopath role treats 10 of its required skills as things a nurse responsible for general care already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- accept own accountability
- advise on healthcare users' informed consent
- apply context specific clinical competences
- comply with legislation related to health care
- comply with quality standards related to healthcare practice
- develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship
What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A homeopath role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a nurse responsible for general care background worth leading with.
- already held dietetics health and welfare
- already held pathology health and welfare
- already held advise on healthcare users' informed consent communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held human physiology health and welfare
- already held deal with emergency care situations assisting and caring
All 18 carried skills, including the 10 the homeopath role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 16 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
