Maria Aziz

I am a compassionate and motivated newly qualified Children's Nurse with strong clinical foundations and experience across acute, surgical and community settings. I am skilled in delivering safe, high-quality, family-centred care and supporting children and young people during periods of illness, anxiety and change. I am confident in monitoring vital signs, recognising early signs of deterioration, escalating concerns appropriately and working collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team to ensure the best possible outcomes.

With excellent communication skills, emotional resilience and a commitment to continuous learning, I am eager to develop advanced clinical skills within Birmingham Children's Hospital's Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). I am highly motivated to contribute to world-class, compassionate care for critically ill children and their families, while embracing the structured education and support offered through the PICU foundation programme.
