Introducing our Clinical Lead, Lizzie.

As Louise Henry departs temporarily for her maternity leave, we would like to introduce to you our new full time Clinical Lead, Lizzie. Lizzie has been a part of our team for a few weeks now and entering into her third week at Caremark Rotherham & Sheffield, we thought it the perfect time to tell you more about Lizzie’s nursing background.

Lizzie joined the ICU and HDU at Sheffield Children’s Hospital 6 years ago. She has a vast array of skills and knowledge in different areas; planning, assessing and first hand caring for children and their families. For the last year, Lizzie has been a senior staff nurse which involved managing a team, attending emergencies and being a role model for colleagues and students. Lizzie has extensive clinical experience in all aspects of paediatric care, including epilepsy, tracheostomies, gastrostomy and jejunotomy tubes, coupled with suction, ventilator support and much more.

Lizzie has a strong passion for enhancing children’s health and wellbeing and is so proud to be a paediatric nurse. Lizzie said about working for Caremark…

‘I decided to come and work for Caremark to gain experience in a different field of nursing and direct my clinical skills onto helping children and families in the community. I am excited to be part of a wonderful team and be at the forefront of providing training, support, and guidance to the fantastically dedicated Support Workers.  I am looking forward to meeting the clients and their amazing families, and to become fully involved in supporting them to lead a fulfilling and happy life. One of the main reasons I joined Caremark was because I recognised the opportunity to utilise my skills and employ my clinical expertise to teach and educate others, paired with empowering clientss to achieve their own independence, and make safe, informed decisions with the consideration of their health, family, and lifestyle. I am confident that I will thoroughly enjoy working at Caremark, as I already feel so fortunate to work with compassionate, experienced, and truly inspirational people every day.’
