Summary

Dedicated to enhancing the quality of patient care and satisfaction, I offer a strong background in nursing and healthcare administration. I have a proven track record of developing and implementing comprehensive nursing policies, providing exceptional leadership and mentorship, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

I played a pivotal role in securing departmental accreditation for Springvale Endoscopy Centre and Day Hospital, ensuring strict adherence to Infection Control, ISO, and NSQHS audit requirements. My expertise in NSQHS standards, Colonoscopy Care Standards, GENCA guidelines, and AS4187 standards is consistently updated.


I am eager about expanding my knowledge in Digital Health to contribute to improved patient outcomes through the effective use of relevant data.

Furthermore, I am goal-driven and well-versed in recruiting, training, and managing employees to deliver high-quality and safe healthcare. I am highly organised and hardworking, with excellent planning and program management skills.
