Christina Blay

I am a Registered Nurse Associate who has had over 3 years of practice in Ghana and currently obtained my pin here in the UK from the NMC after validation process. I have over 2 years experience in supporting residents in the care home as a care assistant. I am hard working, punctual, enthusiastic and an eager to learn individual.

I have good communication and organisation skills. I can work on my own initiative and as a part of a team. I'm self-driven, result oriented, innovative, and a faster learner. I demonstrate respect for confidentiality and a caring attitude.

I also have a commitment to equality and diversity and take a positive approach to supporting people with different health conditions.
