Summary

Extremely proactive, personable and patient focused with 10 years' experience as a qualified nurse in the hospital setting and 3 years in primary care setting as a practice nurse.

Offering a valuable combination of clinical, interpersonal and analytical skills. A team player that listens and confidently communicates well within a multi-disciplinary team, but also very comfortable working autonomously.

Highly focused on the care and needs of individual patients, ensuring compassion, dignity and safety is maintained. Also, protecting patients' privacy and confidentially.

I have the ability to work effectively within any environment and adapt well in new surroundings. Ensuring efficiency, clinical excellence and exceptional patient care with the ability to use initiative, good assessment skills, take leadership and make clinical decisions.

Now seeking a new opportunity within practice nursing to combine both knowledge and experience already gained for new challenges. I am eager to learn new skills and knowledge for greater development.
