About Sarah O'Shaughnessy:

I have been working in the NHS for over ten years. My speciality is Emergency nursing. I have worked within the A&E department in Croydon and am currently working in Rapid Response which has a two hour response time within a community setting.

Experience

As an A&E nurse, I provided immediate and high-quality care to patients in the Accident & Emergency department. My role involved quickly assessing and triaging patients, administering initial treatments, and stabilizing those in critical condition. I collaborated closely with a multidisciplinary team and communicated effectively with patients and their families to offer reassurance and support. My responsibilities also included accurate documentation and continuous professional development to stay updated with the latest emergency care practices. Working in a fast-paced, high-stress environment, I remained calm, adaptable, and compassionate to ensure the best outcomes for my patients.
