I have been a Registered General Nurse for 40 years, qualifying at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh School of Nursing in 1985.
My career has been mainly focused on caring for critically ill patients, both adults and children. For seven of those years I was a Resuscitation Officer with the lead for paediatric resuscitation in Newcastle Upon Tyne and taught on Advanced Life Support courses as an ALS instructor.
My standards of care are high and I always strive for the best for my patients.
I completely changed the direction of my career when I joined the North East Ambulance Service in November 2021 as a Senior Clinical Advisor.
I'm proud of my professional achievements to date and proud to be part of the Tessa Gough Associates team.
