About

NMC-registered General Nurse with over 22 years of clinical experience, including 18 years in UK healthcare across acute care, elderly care, dementia services, and theatres. Currently completing an MSc in Nursing (University of Essex). Highly skilled in holistic clinical assessment, critical analysis, and evidence-based decision-making, with extensive experience managing complex physical, mental health, and cognitive conditions.

Strong ability to evaluate functional impact, identify inconsistencies in medical evidence, and produce clear, structured reports. Experienced in handling sensitive conversations and working with diverse patient groups. Seeking a Functional/Disability Assessor role (remote/hybrid) where I can apply my clinical expertise to deliver fair, accurate, and defensible assessments aligned with DWP standards.
