Summary
After many years working in operating theatres I have made the decision to transition from the hospital environment to a career centered on health and wellness promotion and disease prevention. I strongly believe in the importance of a proactive and holistic approach in maintaining well-being and preventing illnesses before they occur. I am confident that my blend of clinical expertise, compassion, and enthusiasm will enable me to excel in this rewarding field.
