Star of the Week: Nina Faraon

September 24, 2021

Our Star of the Week this week is Nina Faraon, TIA clinic nurse.

The TIA clinic sees patients with suspected mini stroke very quickly after their referral to us usually within 24h. It runs 7 days a week even over the weekends. This way we prevent major strokes from happening. Patients are reviewed clinically, have scans and are started immediately  appropriate medication. All through one very long appointment with us.

The clinic is one of the very few services that continued during the pandemic and Nina has played a pivotal role ensuring the service has been able to continue as it is. She balances the admin work  to coordinate the appointments and find the rooms at the outpatients.

Nina liaises with all our patients who invariably praise her manner and her nursing skills as she explains and reassures them. In addition to this, Nina does some of the data analysis for our performance to allow me to distribute the workload to the consultants in a fair and efficient manner.

Nina embodies truly the role of the modern nurse in our era and is a true asset for our team.
