Currently employed as a Midwifery Sister at Royal United Hospital (RUH) Bath.
7 years' experience as a Midwife at Royal United Hospital (RUH) Bath rotating between Antenatal, Intrapartum and postnatal care in various settings involving triage.
3 years' experience as a Midwifery Manager (Band 7). Coordinating a busy delivery suite and being the most senior member of the team on shift. I am highly skilled and experienced in high-risk maternity care.
Teaching suturing, cannulation and obstetric emergency courses.
Investigating “DATIX” – an internal reporting system logging poor outcomes/errors and then attempting to negate future risks.
Involvement in writing policies and SOP’s.

Throughout my career I have gained understanding of the intricate balance between safety and productivity within highly dynamic areas of Midwifery services.

I am very passionate about service improvement; I am the Midwifery lead for national projects within my unit. My clinical role means I co-ordinate the unit, support more junior Midwives and care for birthing women requiring high dependency care, also involving bereavement care.

I am compassionate, hardworking, calm and skilled and pride myself on delivering safe, individualised and evidence-based care to women and their families.
