After graduating in 2018, I returned to Addenbrooke’s hospital (CUH)

During my studies and hands on experience at the University of Bedfordshire and Bedford Hospital, I gained varied and valuable experiences. All experiences have made me a well rounded practitioner and I have substantial knowledge within Obstetrics, Urology, and Gynaecology. My day to day work now is within the day-surgery unit at CUH. ENT list’s are common, along with Paediatric, Robotic bowl surgery and breast surgery.
I thrive on the added responsibility and especially the more interpersonal relationships with the clinical leaders and managers.

I have demonstrated my ability to work well under pressure and in emergency situations. Numerous amounts of equipment are needed for the various operations that are performed and I am practically competent with extensive amounts of equipment.
