“This trust without doubt helps enhance patient care. Equally she is a strong advocate, and this is evident in her collaboration with wider agencies and other health professional within the practice. She is an excellent role model for more junior nurses and a credit to the practice.”

“People often say to me that I must have a hard job but I feel like I have the most rewarding job I could ask for. I feel very privileged to care for the patients I do. Being able to make a difference in just a small way makes my job every bit worthwhile.

I have met some wonderful patients and their families, that have let me into their lives to care for them at such a precious time. I feel very honoured and privileged. They have made me the nurse I am today.
