Summary
An empathic, motivated and highly skilled phlebotomist, who has the perfect combination of dedication, competence, compassion, team spirit, and IT skills required for excellent health care delivery.
Competent phlebotomist with over 9 years of experience working in high-volume, fast-paced hospital settings. Highly knowledgeable in routine blood drawing procedures and using vacutainer tubes, tourniquets, syringes, butterfly needles and straight needles. Committed to maintaining highest quality standards when collecting, labeling and processing samples and specimens.
From the experience I have gathered, having worked in different healthcare settings, I have learnt to effectively manage the available resources effectively, my time and prioritize my workload, which has made me to be able to work under pressure in a busy and fast-paced environment. I have also gained proficient communication skills, both written and verbal communications, with the ability to interact with patients in a friendly and respectful manner while maintaining good interpersonal relationship with both patients and multidisciplinary team members.
