Summary

As a compassionate and highly skilled accident & emergency nurse, I am confident in providing high-quality, fast-paced treatment in critical and acute care settings. Proven ability to diagnose, prioritise, and manage a wide range of patient presentations, including minor injuries to life-threatening trauma, and medical emergencies. Expert in triage, emergency interventions, and multidisciplinary teamwork under pressure. Capable of providing patient-centered care in high-stress situations while remaining calm and attentive. Dedicated to maintaining best practices in accordance with clinical guidelines, infection control measures, and health and safety requirements. Certified in Immediate Life Support, Paediatric Immediate Life Support, Major Incident/CBRNE, and Trauma Intermediate Life Support. I've also attended an acute and emergency medicine mental health study day, which taught me the necessity of knowing mental health because it's a prevalent occurrence in A&E. I am the department's organ donation link nurse because this is something I am enthusiastic about, having completed a placement with NHS blood and transplant working alongside organ and tissue donation nurses in Liverpool, this has helped me share my knowledge with my current colleagues.
