Enhanced RMN professional with strong leadership and relationship-building skills.
What I'm looking for
I am an enhanced and motivated RMN professional with a wealth of experience in managing clinical areas and staff. My expertise lies in the assessment and management of clinical risks, as well as devising and implementing effective changes in practice. I have a proven track record of working in various settings, including acute wards, locked rehabilitation, crisis teams, and CAMHS, where I have excelled in juggling multiple tasks under pressure.
Currently, I serve as an ADHD Associate at Psicon, where I assess service users for ADHD and provide comprehensive reports and treatment recommendations. My previous roles as a CAMHS Practitioner and ADHD Specialist Nurse have equipped me with the skills to conduct thorough assessments, devise risk management plans, and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams. I am dedicated to improving patient outcomes and ensuring the highest standards of care.
