Even as a student nurse, ITU was always my dream job. I spent a couple of years getting some experience in general medicine and MAU before joining ITU, and I still absolutely love it. I was an ITU nurse for over 5 years before I began my ACCP training. I had always wanted to do something specialised. I wanted to progress my clinical knowledge and skills, rather than just taking on a more managerial role. I found my training very
challenging, but I love being an ACCP. DCCQ is a friendly environment, the ACCP team are incredibly supportive
and I am so glad that I trained here! I feel extremely lucky to be in my role.
I am really looking forward to working with new trainees and being a part of their induction and ongoing mentorship. I feel really strongly about supporting trainees throughout their journey – support is vital, and I think makes a huge amount of difference to their experience. I am hoping to contribute to the national framework for trainees.
