What made you decide to become a nurse?

I began my Nursing career in 1996, I decided to become a Nurse because I wanted to make a difference, I wanted to be involved in healthcare and improve lives by providing care when people most need it. I wanted to be part of a professional team of dedicated people.

 

What attracted you to apply for your role here at Ramsay Health Care UK?

After heart wrenching deliberation I decided to leave my NHS career in April 2019, having looked around Clifton Park Hospital I was impressed with how positive, forward thinking, supportive and hands on the Matron was, this inspired me to apply for the position of Ward and POA lead, which I was offered and I started my job in January 2020.

 

What do you enjoy most about your role?

I enjoy being part of a team of dedicated, diligent, experienced, caring, professional, progressive Nurses and HCA’s who are warm, friendly and fun.  It is hugely rewarding to be part of the patient journey from admission to discharge and see the huge difference to quality of life that surgery can make to a patient.
