    Cath- Assistant Practitioner

    "I love the variation - there are so many aspects to look at - you can take that route or that route, there's a constant learning environment - I am always excited, there's always something new. And the people! You meet some wonderful people. Making people better and sending them home, and having that contact with them at that most vulnerable time of their life is - putting a smile on their face and seeing them get better. I'm going to get these two years out of the way and top up do my degree and become a staff nurse and we will see what the world holds!"
