I completed further studies at Birmingham University whilst district nursing and love to learn and keep up-to-date with all elements of nursing practice.
I have been in a managerial role for over 4 years in nursing homes. I have a very open approach and thrive to deliver the highest quality care to the residents and their families. I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful home.
