Samia Abdullahi

Throughout my career, spanning over numerous decades, I have been fortunate to serve in various capacities within healthcare settings, including rules at University Hospitals Birmingham – NHS Foundations Trust, Birmingham Women’s Hospital, and Ministry of Health UAE – Mafraq Hospital, among others. My tenure as an Antenatal Screening Professional, Midwifery Assistant, and Senior Registered Nurse has instilled in me a profound commitment to providing compassionate care to women, babies, and their families.

The Senior Healthcare Support Worker (Maternity Support) Apprenticeship - CERTHE promises an integrated approach to learning, combining theoretical insights with hands-on practical experiences. I am particularly enthused by the opportunity to delve into maternity-focused modules, honing my clinical skills while developing essential transferable competencies such as effective communication, responsibility, and infection prevention.
