Summary
I am a driven, hardworking, and reliable paramedic who can communicate effectively with patients and other healthcare professionals, ensuring that the best care is provided. I can maintain composure and am resilient in high-stress situations, whilst also making focused/ difficult decisions under pressure. Working for the Welsh Ambulance Service has allowed me to improve my rapid assessment abilities and promptly recognise critically unwell patients. WAST has also allowed me to mentor students and other newly qualified paramedics, solidifying my understanding of clinical procedures and medical conditions whilst ensuring that I can communicate it effectively to others. Additionally, I ensure that I am up-to-date on current medical practices/ literature in order to provide the best care possible.
