Summary

I have been fortunate to have worked in a variety of settings providing me with the experience to be a dynamic, practical, and caring nurse who is not phased by challenging situations. My previous experience at Milton Abbas surgery will benefit me greatly in this role is this too was a combined nursing and district role. I am aware I will need to update previous skills and learn now ones as although I’m currently a practice nurse working in all male prison, this leads to a some obvious gaps in my current knowledge. I relish this opportunity this role will bring going back to my roots as an integrated PCN.
