Caring for elderly residents who are experiencing various stages of dementia. Providing compassion and support to both residents and their significant others.

My role involves care planning, wound care, administration of medication, end of life care, supporting individuals with challenging behaviour.

Quinton house has been accredited with the Gold Standards Framework, and I’ve been fortunate enough to implement this with residents and their loved ones.

I provide clinical support to colleagues, and mentor students and pre-registration nurses from overseas.

Role involved assessing claimants in detail to establish their level of function. Assessment is followed up by a written report that is sent to the Department of Work and Pensions for them to decide upon outcome of claim.

Role requires excellent listening and enquiring skills, and the ability to be objective. Compassion and clinical knowledge is essential.

• Able to yield required information from a phone call, and then write a report reflecting that Information.
• Focused on accuracy whilst meeting deadlines.
• Excellent team player in spite of remote working.
• Adaptable to change.

Clinical role where a holistic approach is taken in caring for elderly residents with multiple needs.

Day to day sees me administering medication in accordance with the NMC Code of Conduct Medication, writing person-centred care plans, completing risk assessments, and leading a team of care staff.

The role is challenging, and requires me to be able to think on my feet and act autonomously as I am often the most senior member of staff in the building. With this comes the need to be confident in my decision-making, and able to be an advocate for my patients.

This role saw me performing as both deputy manager and clinical lead in a nursing home. I was responsible for clinical governance, managing nursing staff and carers, training/education, & ensuring the home met CQC standards.

I was a strong leader, and sought to support staff with enthusiasm and drive.

Patient-centred care is at the forefront of a nursing home that is performing well, and I believe that empowering residents and their loved ones goes some way to achieving this. In addition to that, when staff feel supported, and have the necessary skills through training they can confidently and competently deliver that patient-centred care.
