Summary
I have been working in care for 18 years, during which time I have gained valuable experience and achieved SVQ 2 & 3 in Health & Social Care. I am qualified in administering medication, and I am also certified to train staff in Moving and Handling. Additionally, I am a trained and qualified Phlebotomist. My extensive experience is complemented by specialized training, equipping me with the skills needed to provide high-quality care in a variety of complex situations.
Recently, I have qualified as a Care Practitioner, further expanding my expertise in areas such as catheterisation, insulin administration, B12 injections, PEG feeds, and tracheostomy care. I provide the hands-on care required for residents with specialized medical needs.
