Lucille Murray

I am currently a Staff Nurse for Care of the Elderly at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust. Previously, I worked as an Endoscopy Staff Nurse at the same trust, gaining experience in health screening procedures and outpatient and inpatient therapies. My transition from Endoscopy to ward nursing was driven by a desire to expand my skills in direct patient care. I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based nursing for diverse populations.
