  I like to see my staff develop, improve, move forwards, move up, get promoted, come up with great ideas that we can implement on the ward. The projects that we get to do, so The Get Up, Get Moving project, the projects about improving the environment on some of our clinical areas, developing our staff to work in the more acute areas, developing links with other service users. Lots and lots and lots.

  Every day we’re thinking, “How can we do things better for our patients and our staff and how can we give patients the best care and experience we possibly can? And how can we make this a great place to work for our staff?” And I think sometimes that’s really tough, particularly in COVID, and teams have just been amazing, sort of stepping up and I’m proud to be part of that.

  I started off as a healthcare… So I built up to be what I am now, and that’s allowed me to be the advocate for the patient. It’s important for me to care and being a nurse was the best way to do it. So I could literally fight for what patients need.
