Your Nursing Career at North Bristol NHS Trust
Gemma Quijote - Ward Sister
×My journey in Team NBT
“I am incredibly proud of all the progress I have made in my career since joining NBT as an international nurse from the Philippines 21 years ago.
“NBT has given me the opportunity to progress professionally and provides support for all staff from diverse backgrounds to develop physically and socially. We have various means of support available for our wellbeing
“Not only does NBT continuously acknowledge hardworking staff, I have been awarded two PIMS, which are made in recognition of people who go above and beyond their job role; plus, an NBT hero award, but it also provides support and numerous ways to look after our wellbeing - I can’t thank NBT enough for all the benefits.
“During my time here, I have found friends who have become my work family. Working here was truly one of the best decisions I ever made!
“I ❣️ NBT and mabuhay (long live).”
Gemma Quijote - Ward Sister (Pictured)
Ling Luan - Registered Nurse
×"In my role as an Outpatient Nurse I assist doctors with minor surgery and other medical procedures. Working in outpatients gives me the opportunity to work in a range of specialities in different clinics. I make sure that the clinics are running smoothly and that patients are kept informed.
I joined NBT as a Health Care Assistant (HCA) 10 years ago! Whilst working as an HCA I saw how the nurses were making a difference to the patients' experience, so while I was working I completed my assistant practitioner training. It wasn't easy as English is not my first language. As an HCA I had plenty of experience in working in a lot of different clinics within outpatients.
I then decided to make the move and become a trained nurse, so five years ago I went to university and completed my nurse training. NBT has given me excellent learning opportunities and I am grateful for the support throughout my nursing career.
Being a nurse is part of who I am, I always wanted to be a nurse and take care of people. I am proud to work as part of a team and play my part in the safe running of this hospital.
I like relaxing with my family who are very supportive of my work. My hobbies include travelling, walking our dog, cooking and watch films."
Ling Luan, Outpatient Staff Nurse (Pictured)
Sandro Mangino – Healthcare Support Worker
×My journey in Team NBT – Healthcare Support Worker
“I have been a Healthcare Support Worker since 2016, so about six years.
“I first started in the NHS as a Housekeeper in 2014, watching the nurses and healthcare workers do their job, I found out that it was a job that I would be suited for and in September 2016 I made the move to HCA role.
“To me being a Healthcare Support Worker means that I am making a difference during a difficult time in people’s lives. Helping them get through a tough surgery, a chronic illness that requires hospital time or a life changing diagnosis. I am proud to be a Healthcare Support Worker because I know that my job (just like everyone else’s in the hospital) is vital and I am depended on during my shifts to help out the nurses do their job the way it is meant to be done. I feel proud that my job is helping those in need and it makes a huge positive difference in people’s lives.
“After my shifts I relax by going home and spending time with my partner and my little daughter. My hobbies are DIY and Archery.”
Sandro Mangino, Healthcare Support Worker (Pictured)
Priyanka Jamdade – International Nurse
×My journey in Team NBT – International Nurse
"I am a band 6 Nurse in Charge. I am a coordinator in the department along with my manager and we work together well as a team.
My role involves caring for patients to a high nursing standard and taking initiative to strive towards excellence. My role also consists of empowering and equipping those in the process of building their careers in nursing, such as students and newly qualified nurses.
"I’ve been in this profession for more than 15 years now and have enjoyed every moment. I completed my nursing in 2006 and that’s when my journey began. I worked in different parts of India and even had the opportunity to work at multi-speciality hospital in Dubai for more than seven years.
"I joined NBT in August 2020 as a band 5 nurse and within two years I was encouraged by my manager to progress to band 6.
"My main source of inspiration to become a nurse comes from an innate desire to help people and care for them in times of need. I am also a person who thrives on being challenged. I always have new goals to achieve, so nursing suits me as few other careers offer as much diversity and learning opportunities as nursing. Dealing with patients and their families and helping them through what is often a difficult time for them is satisfying and rewarding for me."
Priyanka Jamdade, International Nurse (Pictured)
Miranda Cushley – Maternity Support Worker (MSW)
×My journey in Team NBT
"My role involves supporting new mums and families on the postnatal ward.
"I have been a Maternity Support Worker for eight years. After starting as a housekeeper on the ward I could see the MSW job in action. The role really appealed to me, and I could see the positive impact it had on the new mums.
"I love supporting the new mums at the start of their parenting journey and enjoy providing reassurance and building their confidence. I support the midwives with various tasks to ensure the smooth running of the ward."
