@ericamandis
I deliver emergency, primary care, and ICU nursing across complex settings.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently managing the accident and emergency unit at Bill Pichard Hospital, where I oversee stock and medicine ordering, clinical governance, disaster-management planning, and staff training. Previously, I provided acute and chronic care at Bill Pickhard Hospital and Prieska Clinic, including trauma response, HIV and TB screening, immunisations, wound management, and patient education.
I've also supported the commissioning and accreditation preparation of King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz University Hospital in Riyadh, helped develop ICU policies and workflows, and trained junior staff. My background spans trauma and general ICU nursing, high-care shift leadership, phlebotomy, and emergency care, with hands-on experience in advanced life support, ventilator care, blood gas analysis, ECG and X-ray interpretation, and multidisciplinary patient advocacy.
