I thoroughly enjoyed the speciality and caring for surgical patients. In 2011 I decided to pursue my career as a nurse in the UK and joined the thoracic ward at Bristol Royal Infirmary in 2012 later merging with ENT and max fax. I loved the challengues of a busy surgical ward and coordinating patients care as well as the skills gained in thoracic, ENT and Max Fax. Five years later the opportunity came to become a Thoracic Nurse specialist and have been in the role ever since. I am very passionate about thoracic and continusly thriving to deliver excellent care to patients receiving lung cancer treatment. I have got an especial interest in teaching and supporting staff new to the speciality and enjoy sharing my interest and expertise.
