In 2021, I moved to the Outreach Team at Eastbourne. It was a hard period for the Trust with so much change. I worked on improving the NIV teaching in the respiratory services across site and worked with the Simulation team and AMU in quality improvement projects. I brought back AKI teaching to Eastbourne and alongside this, I started a leadership course with Henley Business School. Throughout the course, I acquired so much knowledge and skills that allowed me to influence and contribute to improvements across nursing and patients. Henley Business School has shaped my approach to leadership, given me space to reflect about myself but to think strategically which ultimately motivated me to apply for the band 8a Matron. In 2017, I joined the Critical Care Outreach Team working both at Royal Sussex County and Princess Royal Hospitals. I enjoyed the busyness of the outreach role and embraced some projects such as medical student teaching and being an advocate for safe sedation on the wards, whilst actively contributing for the development of the outreach service. I also completed the advanced physical assessment module.
I truly enjoy learning and I’m also undertaking a coaching certificate, although I’m almost at the last steps! Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two children and my dog. I enjoy spending time outdoors – whether it’s walking, gardening or just getting some fresh air. I also engage in community events and enjoy listening to others’ stories and experiences. DIY, crafts and cooking are how I like to spend my spare time. I have worked and learned from so many people in my career which helped shape me into the nurse who I am today, and I feel privileged to be embracing this new opportunity!
