Summary
I have completed my Masters in Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP) within Stroke. This also included the Non-Medical Prescribing component. I joined in Jan 2021 and employer paid for my ACP apprenticeship program via the University of Nottingham. My first job was as a Physiotherapist in the community but then decided to do Nursing as well. I practiced as both for a period of time before I became a full time ACP. I am looking for part time hours with yourselves. Hoping to do either evening shifts in the week or at weekend and cover any of your bank holidays needs as when available.
I live in Nottingham with my husband and 13 yr old son. I drive and own a vehicle. My main aim now in my career is to broaden my experience, competency and exposure to other wide and varied clinical settings.
