Managing a nursing unit where there is a team of 35 staff members which includes 8 registered nurses, it is important that I take action in keeping my skills and knowledge and seek to improve my capabilities across the range of task I carry out daily.

Continually improving my knowledge is essential to my role and ensures I have the skills and knowledge to create the best for the organisation that I work for.
