She said: “Joining St Michael’s Hospice was a turning point in my career, I was warned by previous colleagues that leaving an acute setting to work in a hospice would de-skill me, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. With such a supportive team behind me, my knowledge, skills and confidence has thrived.

“Palliative care has become a vital component of any nursing setting now, so to work somewhere with specialist palliative care at the heart of it, is very special indeed. To specialise and really focus my knowledge and skills has been really exciting for me.

“It is an honour to be able to provide the quality of care we can here, the resources and services available to our patients and families are so complete you really see the difference you are making every day, it is an incredibly rewarding role. What I loved most about being an RN within specialist palliative care is it is not just about tasks or time-slots – it is very person-focused and I’ve been able to help arrange weddings, film nights, spent time with a patient writing down their beloved recipes to be passed down in the family and even snake-proofed a room.

“It is also really refreshing to work in an organisation like the hospice. I have been able to progress my career from Registered Nurse into ward management, and am currently undertaking a secondment as nursing lead for the community, which is a really exciting opportunity for me.”
