I have experience working in a general hospital and a Children’s Hospital, caring for children with varied medical conditions. Specialties such as: Respiratory, Cystic Fibrosis, Cardiology, Rheumatology, Metabolic, Endocrine and Immunology. Also having experience working in areas such as CAU. I continue to do clinical bank shifts, alongside my Lecturer post, to keep up to date with practice.
