Certification

I have over 30 years experience in nursing - in a variety of different settings. Previous management experience with qualifications. My passion is looking after people and getting to know them. Providing excellent care, providing the best possible information and support to their families. Despite time constraints I still always try to provide the best care I can.

I am syringe driver trained and have much experience in providing end of life care. Due to recent changes in my health I am looking to reduce my working hours and have a part time role.
