Between 2019-2022, I moved to Norwich to expand my working experience in the oncology-haematology unit in NNUH.

I worked as a senior chemotherapy nurse, administering chemotherapy to elective patients as well as looking after acutely unwell haematology and oncology patients.

During this time, I coordinated the ward on a daily basis which helped me developed leadership skills.

In January 2021, I completed the course "Covid-19: Psychological first aid" through Public Health England, which gave me the skills to support my colleagues during these difficult times.

I also received respiratory specialized training in Non-Invasive ventilation, tracheostomy care and laryngectomy care for ward based patients.
