I have many years of experience in the NHS including as Staff Nurse and Charge Nurse on acute medical wards, Clinical Skills and Resuscitation Teacher, Clinical Nurse Specialist in Home Oxygen Assessment for North Derbyshire, Service Improvement Lead Nurse and most recently Senior Clinical Improvement and Innovation Manager.
