At Hulton House have looked after service users with normal nursing needs (medication administration, insulin administration, subcutaneous injections, end of life care and medication administration, administration of controlled drugs). The reason i have left was that i have been promised some things which have not been offered after 6 months so decided to leave.


In March 2021 have joined Ribble Court where i enjoyed working, there i have looked after service users with nursing and complex care needs. Reason i left Ribble Court is because i have started my own limited company and decided to work as agency nurse.
