Job overview

“Christina goes above and beyond her job. She is always willing to help, does things without asking first. Christina has really taken care of me, with a smile and compassion. Nothing is ever too much trouble! She is a credit to the ward and hospital, and I sure will miss her smile first thing in a morning when she brings my breakfast. A lovely HCA with a beautiful personality. Even when the ward is so busy, she always finds time to say hello and cheer you up. Thank you, Christina xxx” Anonymised quote from a TULIP nomination for a NUH Healthcare Assistant.
