What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to a healthcare team where I can deliver safe, patient-centred care in theatre settings, keep learning, and help improve patient outcomes through strong communication, documentation, and clinical decision-making under pressure.

I am a compassionate and highly motivated Nurse, equipped with solid theoretical knowledge and practical experience gained through rigorous clinical rotations and coursework. I deliver exceptional patient care with a focus on safety, efficiency, and evidence-based treatment plans.

As a Theatre Practitioner (Obstetrics Scrub and Recovery) at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (December 2023 to Present), I prepare operating rooms using strict aseptic techniques and infection control protocols. I scrub for and assist with elective, emergency, and complex high-risk caesarean sections as the primary scrub nurse, ensuring sterile technique and seamless instrument handling, while responding rapidly to obstetric emergencies.

In recovery, I provide comprehensive post-operative care by monitoring vital signs, administering medications as prescribed, and implementing interventions to promote timely recovery and prevent complications. I document accurate assessments in electronic medical records, coordinate interdisciplinary care, and use advanced life support techniques when emergencies arise—while staying dedicated to continuous learning and professional growth.
