Lorraine - Theatre Nurse

Image of Hospital

"Wessex is a small Hospital, which is just right for me. The team is friendly - more like a family, really. We look after each other and socialise together, too.

We have a regular influx of new Consultants who bring new procedures - this means there are new skills for us to learn, which certainly keeps us challenged and motivated.

I can cover everything from Paediatrics to Gynaecology to Orthopaedics in just one day. You get so much variety here. It's anything but dull. I work part-time, and as long as I'm prepared to be flexible, I get it back in return. So, if I do need to take time out to be somewhere with the children, there isn't a problem. The theatre team and managers here are incredibly supportive.

Things are challenging right now because we're so busy. That's part of the hospital being such a success. So, we need more people to join us."
