Hi, I am Shona and I am an Emergency Care Assistant

About Me

My name is Shona and I began my journey in pre hospital care just Prior to the Covid 19 pandemic. Prior to that I was working in the manufacturing industry as wire drawer.

I started by volunteering on the Frontline as a Community First Responder for North Northamptonshire.
As the pandemic told hold I was furloughed from work and found myself volunteering almost full time and quickly discovered I have a passion for pre hospital care.

After being made redundant from my full time job in 2021 I chose to re-invest in myself and undertook training to the level of Emergency Care Assistant FREC 4 with SAoLM and L3 CERAD.

I have now had experience of working in patient transport, high dependency transport, front line response and events.

I love what I do I hope that shows in my interactions with patient's.
