My genuine passion for patient care and commitment to contributing positively to the healthcare field drive my eagerness to join your esteemed team.

 

My expertise lies in the adept management of patients/service users with learning disabilities, dementia, autism, and epilepsy. I possess a comprehensive understanding of health and safety management procedures, person-centred care, and the safeguarding of both adults and children. Additionally, my background includes valuable experience in working with patients suffering from mental health illnesses, as well as a nuanced understanding of mental health difficulties and challenging behaviours.
I am well-versed in the awareness of stigma and discrimination associated with individuals facing mental health challenges. I am proficient in various aspects of ward procedures, including moving and handling, prevention of patient violence, aggression management using primary, secondary, and tertiary restraint techniques, crisis intervention, de-escalation techniques, and observations such as general, intermittent (1-1, 2-1,1:15), as well as clinical observations.
Additionally, I bring to the table my skills in patient escort, effective communication with patients, families, and staff members, as well as attributes such as emotional intelligence, empathy, patience, time management, and the documentation of nursing observations on Paris or Electronic Patient Records (EPR). I am confident that my qualifications actively meet the demands of the position.
I hold a bachelor’s degree, mandatory care certificate, and PMVA certification, and I possess advanced IT skills in MS Word, Excel, Canva, PowerPoint, and Paris. Additionally, I am willing to obtain an NVQ level 3 in care. My deep comprehension extends to health and social care laws and regulations, encompassing familiarity with the Care Quality Commission regulatory framework, the Mental Health Act, The Mental Capacity Act, health, and safety laws, safeguarding of children/adult laws, and more. This extensive foundation empowers me with the essential knowledge and skills required for providing patient care and support.
My time as a support worker at Desire Healthcare and a Bank Nursing assistant at Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust has allowed me to contribute substantially to patient well-being and safety. The responsibilities and person specifications outlined for the Healthcare support worker position closely align with my professional background and skill set.

As needed, I am capable of utilizing physical manual restraint measures as a last resort to de-escalate physically and verbally challenging behaviours, thereby ensuring the overall quality of life, safety, and respect for patients. 
Occasionally I utilize Electronic Patient Records (EPR) and PARIS, demonstrating proficiency in accurately documenting patient notes.
