About Paula Alsop

My current role requires me to be dynamic and very good at problem solving. I work as a lone worker but also a valued member of the MDT. I provide care to patients in different community care settings with a range of acute and chronic health needs. I identify, implement, evaluate and reassess the care. I document this on paper and on the I.T system we use. This can vary from a simple dressing task, to a patient with complex needs that requires a holistic person centered care approach. I have many clinical skills that are used daily and are transferrable e.g. venepuncture, iv medication administration, wound and leg ulcer care, palliative and end of life care, catheterisation, bowel care, cannulation, central lines and many more. I work very closely with others from the MDT and am confident in communicating with these. I have responsibility for my own workload, time management and coordinating the team. I play an active role in our monthly palliative care meetings by discussing case management and being able to identify future input. I have completed nursing assessment reports, fast tracks and am able to produce accurate and legible documentation providing evidence for my clinical decision. I enjoy the mentoring of student nurses and ensure that the right learning environment is achieved. I also have a role in teaching and supporting peers, care givers and care receiver. I am very passionate about nursing and have high standards taking pride in my care and the team I work within. I thrive on being able to give the best care possible.
