Summary

A compassionate and experienced Registered Nurse with over a decade of hands-on nursing practice in both hospital and community settings in Ghana, currently registered with the UK NMC and based in Aberdeen. Known for a calm and dependable approach to patient care, I bring a strong background in acute and long-term care, surgical support, and elderly care.

My strengths lie in patient assessment, holistic care planning, medication management, and working effectively as part of multidisciplinary teams. I believe in treating every individual with dignity, empathy, and professionalism.
