About Tasha…
‘I am a positive, energetic person who enjoys delivering training in a fun, friendly and relaxed environment. I often adapt and bring my own experiences to training sessions, on account of having spent 29 years working as a nurse – in a variety of settings including learning disability and supported living homes, residential and nursing homes and secure units with adults and children. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects with a questioning approach and I love it that I still learn from the people who attend our courses. I have an active outside of work life, including family time and my own small craft business.’
The single thing I would do to improve care is…
Give everyone the confidence to advocate for the people they support. Sometimes that can be hard to do.
The best piece of advice I’ve been given in my career is…
For me there’s two. 1) Know the limits of your knowledge, don’t bluff or guess. 2) The one I was given over 28 years ago – never ask a colleague to do a task that you wouldn’t be happy to do. As a nurse people respect you a lot more if your willing to roll your sleeves up and do the tasks like mopping and cleaning.
