Holly Makin Senior Sister Critical Care EDGH Critical Care Rehabilitation and follow up clinic nurse
There are many things that I love about working in Critical care. We have the privilege of looking after a patient at potentially one of their most vulnerable times in life; entering as a stranger and often leaving a memorable impact for them and/ or their loved ones for life. I believe that due to the incredible team work on Critical care a holistic approach is embraced. I am fortunate enough to see the patients whole journey from admission and MDT
meetings, the ability to look at comprehensive plans, to at the follow up clinics assisting with ongoing rehabilitation needs in the community. I always feel particularly lucky that our MDT at ESHT has ensured that rehab and Critical care follow up continues to have high benefit for patient and develops. I also acknowledge the incredible skill of the team, often having different areas of interest and experiences to bring to the unit.
Team work and strong patient advocacy is what makes working in Critical care an incredible place. Looking after a patient is often one of the most humbling experiences, and to be able to show kindness, support and compassion in someone's time of need is truly special and what I cherish about being a nurse in Critical care.'
