I am an Irish trained Nurse and Midwife. I have been living and working in Perth Western Australia since 2012. I consider myself to be professional, trust worthy and diligent in all aspects of my career. I have enjoyed many highlights in my career including becoming one of 35 nurses who in 2009 obtained prescribing rights paving the way for future nurse and midwives to do the same. My aim is to provide safe and effective evidence based care to my patients at all times and to be the best practitioner I can be at all times.
I am an effective communicator with my colleagues, patients and their family members
I am punctual and have excellent time management skills
I am a good record keeper and document accordingly
I provide exceptional patient care and pride myself in my attention to detail
I ensure my junior colleagues are supported and feel safe in the knowledge I am available to offer help
I practice according to evidence based practice and keep myself up to date with the latest research available through seminars, study days and online publications
I manage a team of nurse and midwives in the after hours period and coordinate the shift to ensure high standards of patient care is met
I ensure the hospital I work in is staffed appropriately and that safe working conditions continue
I liase with members of the multi-disciplinary team and discuss in detail patient care and well being
I problem solve and try to resolve at local level where possible
I recognise when it is appropriate to seek advice and support from my Director of Clinical Services with issues that are beyond my capabilities
I support and adhere to my organisations ethos and values
