Works 4 days a week at RPC East
I began my nurse training in 2008 at Derby University. On qualifying in 2011, I went into a dementia specialist nursing home, were I also worked as a care assistant for many years. I was offered a staff nurse position at Chesterfield Royal Hospital on qualifying but I felt that the hospital environment was not were I wanted to be.
In 2016 I was given the opportunity to train to become a practice nurse. During this time I gained experience in cervical cytology, Immunisations, long-term conditions and anticoagulation monitoring and also improved on my time management and people skills.
During the last few years I have been a volunteer for Chesterfield Police and have also spent some time with the East Midlands ambulance Service allowing me to gain insight into how emergency situations are dealt with effectively.
In 2017 I was given the opportunity to join the Royal Primary Care team and haven’t looked back. I am now looking to the future within the RPC and am interested in becoming a nurse prescriber and to become more specialised in long-term conditions.
