Stepped into the role of Skin Cancer CNS to ensure continuity of care and specialist support during a colleague’s maternity leave. Maintained high standards of clinical care, patient support, and multidisciplinary collaboration throughout the interim period.

• Led multidisciplinary teams to develop and implement patient care protocols, improving treatment quality and consistency.
• Coordinated care across dermatology, oncology, surgery, and primary care, ensuring seamless communication and continuity.

• Few months after I started in the Dermatology department I got promoted to the CNS position. As my knowledge and dedication towards the patients made me stand out.
• I am being trained to perform different procedures such as PDT, TL01, or punch skin biopsies.
• As everyday there is a new thing to learn and to investigate I am enjoying dermatology and I am eager to progress my career in this specialty.

• My role as a staff nurse in HDU has provided me with very acute and high standard nursing skills. Since I started working in the unit I have developed more proactive action in the resolution of the different medical problems that our patients have while they are in the intensive care area. And I have learned to lead other professionals to accomplish those resolutions. In 2020, I was nominated as “skin champion” in the unit due to my high quality of care in skin protection, wound care and pressure sore prevention.
