Hannah Kariuki

I am an enthusiastic, hard working, Nursing Midwifery Council Registered Nurse with over 15 years experience in the provision of exemplary care and maintaining the health and safety of patients with a variety of health care needs. With extensive experience of a Clinical Nurse Specialist in stroke patients, teaching and training programmes and most recently as an Agency Nurse in various wards, I am experienced in the delivery of individual care whilst working in conjunction with community and local teams. I am a reliable and trustworthy individual who acts with integrity and in the best interest of patients while ensuring compliance with Nursing Midwifery Council guidelines to promote efficiency and operational excellence.

I am looking for a new challenge as a Practice Nurse.
