I am a Registered Nurse with a wealth of experience working in multi-disciplinary teams as well as autonomously.

‍

During my career I have developed clinical skills and a knowledge base as a Registered Nurse, working in the community, care of the elderly, Gynaecology, and a GP surgery as a Practice Nurse. 

‍

I further developed my career, gaining a PG Diploma in Specialist Community Public Health Nursing whilst working as a Community School Nurse, covering 15 schools both Primary and Secondary working with children, young people, their families, and other professionals to help improve the health and wellbeing of school aged children in the local community.

‍

This included writing substantive reports and representation for early intervention, safeguarding and care planning.

‍

I also work as an on-call Forensic Nurse Examiner in a Sexual Assault Referral Centre which involves working autonomously, providing an examination, taking medical and forensic samples, meticulous, accurate note taking and reports for the Police, legal representation and attending courts to be cross examined if required.

‍

I am able to adjust my communication style to meet the needs of differing individuals and situations to ensure full participation of those individuals or groups that I am working with at any one time.

‍

This has been extremely important in previous positions where I have had to interact with individuals from across different social economic, ethnic/racial, and cultural backgrounds with different religions and beliefs.

‍

Also, people of different sexual orientation/gender within the community, GP Practice, Schools, Hospital wards and in the Sexual Assault Referral Centre, all positions which require excellent interpersonal skills and require a non-judgmental, empathetic approach, something that I excel in.

‍

Effective relationships are built on trust and honesty, and this is what I strive to achieve in my career.
