They must adhere to strict infection control protocols, which can be demanding during outbreaks or when dealing with hazardous materials. Additionally, effective communication with nursing staff and adapting to rapidly changing priorities, such as emergency clean-ups, are crucial parts of the role. These challenges require attention to detail, flexibility, and a strong sense of teamwork.
