Nursing and Support Team
PattySpecialist Theatre Nurse
I am a registered nurse specialising in theatre nursing. I am passionate about my work in the perioperative field especially in pancreas, liver and biliary surgery. I assist in planning and preparation of the surgeries to ensure all patients receive optimal care in their theatre experience. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, enjoy good food and travelling.
