Shanan has been a qualified Surgical Care practitioner for the past 3 years and has been working in cardiothoracic surgery at Sheffield teaching hospitals. She was trained as an adult nurse working the wards of trauma and orthopaedics, then transitioned to theatres working as a cardiothoracic scrub nurse for a short period of time, before discovering her passion for the SCP trainee role. From there, she went on to study MSc Surgical Practice and qualified with a MSc degree from a UK university. She has also completed an additional RCS Edinburgh/Society of Cardiothoracic Surgery Association Accredited Surgical care practitioners’ diploma in Surgical practice in Cardiothoracic surgery clinical exit examination in 2019. She has scored the highest mark in this clinical examination and won the precious Swann-Morton award for her achievements. Gaining these additional clinical qualifications provides rigorous training and ensures that the quality of care provided to patients is of the highest standards, underpinned with good knowledge and sound rational.

We would like to congratulate Shanan Pierre for her hard work, and we wish her all the best for her future.
