Throughout my years at Logan Hospital I have worked within a number of teams via both the casual pool and under contract in areas; such as the Emergency Department, general medical wards including stroke, renal, respiratory and cardiac as well as surgical, palliative care and rehabilitation wards. I have completed multiple secondments in stock supply and coordination during the Covid-19 pandemic to ensure wards across the hospital were supplied with the correct equipment, stock and PPE to keep patients, staff and members of the public safe. I have also directed members of the public as concierge during these difficult times which has further developed my communication skills. During my time in these areas I have gained invaluable experience that I believe will be an excellent addition to your organisation.
