Summary

Ambitious and highly skilled Registered Nurse with a recent PGDip MSc in Community Specialist Practice and V300 prescribing qualification. My experience encompasses chronic disease management, wound care, and diabetes management, honed through years of community-based nursing. My expertise in autonomous practice and patient-centred care, including end-of-life support, aligns with the unique needs of a Category D prison setting. My focus on safety, comprehensive patient assessment, and public health makes me an ideal candidate for a practice nurse position within primary care in a secure environment.
