During my time as a student, my duties were to promote independence, provide an excellent standard of personal care to patients including personal hygiene, wound management, administration of medicines and fluid and nutrition management. In my final year, I was given a full caseload of patients to manage, where I needed to prioritize needs and delegate tasks to junior staff.
