Ana Silva
@anasilva2
Experienced nurse and lactation consultant skilled in clinical documentation.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I am a registered nurse with over 10 years of clinical experience in top-tier UK hospitals, now providing doula and lactation consultancy services in Portugal and online. I have led multidisciplinary teams, coordinated recovery rooms, and supported post-operative pediatric and adult care with a focus on patient advocacy and continuity of care.
My work blends hands-on clinical practice with precise medical communication: I prepare written and verbal educational materials, conduct case reviews and workshops, and manage confidential client records in compliance with healthcare privacy standards.
Trained as a lactation consultant and doula, I deliver consultations and education to families, mentor staff and students, and translate complex clinical information into clear guidance for parents and colleagues.
I am seeking to transition my clinical record-review and documentation skills into the role of Licensed Appeal Writer, applying evidence-based writing to support reversal of denied insurance claims while maintaining meticulous attention to detail and deadline-driven work.
