Hi,

• Counseling family on communication and optimal feeding strategies
• Using equipment to assist people with limited mobility such as wheelchairs, swivel cushions and hoists
• Creating social events to enhance the communication skills of clients
In 2018, as a trainee nurse at Queen Elizabeth II Hospital, I used clinical skills to enhance the quality of life of older people assigned to my care.
Highlights of my experience includes:
• Providing mealtime assistance, washing/grooming, mobility and companionship.
• Providing emotional support for people following stroke and surgery.
• Utilising knowledge of medical conditions and services to assist in administering medications, treatments, and procedures to patients.
• Monitoring vital signs.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Bruce
