Jaclyn is a valued trainee assistant practitioner. She is conscientious, hardworking and supportive to all members of the team and patients and families. She is so hardworking managing her studies, work and family at home too. Jaclyn your hard work and dedication to our ward has not gone unnoticed.

Jacqueline goes above and beyond in her role, she delivers outstanding care to all of her patients by treating them all with kindness and compassion. Not only does she care for her patients, but she also looks after the whole family, she notices when parents are struggling and need support, whether it be a new mum needing breastfeeding support or a parent of a young person with a mental health crisis who needs a shoulder to cry on. She has worked extremely hard in her course, constantly writing assignments and doing course work, but still turns up to her shifts and gives 100%. She has excellent clinical skills and knows how to spot a sick child and when to escalate concerns. She also asks questions about medications and interventions during shifts, to further her knowledge and skills. But beyond all of this, Jacqueline looks after her team. She is the first person to notice if a colleague appears withdrawn or upset and will always check in with them. She is an asset to Louisa Cary and we are so lucky to have her in our team!
