I think Sharan is absolutely brilliant. She is such a lovely lady which in my opinion contributes so much towards making her a superb brilliant specialist nurse. Nothing ever seems to much trouble for her, she explained that I could contact her anytime if I had questions relating to my diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Sharan is extremely helpful and explains medical subjects in a manner that is easy to understand. I feel extremely lucky to have a lady like Sharan being my specialist nurse, a lovely, helpful, friendly person. She is Brilliant! Thank you Sharan

I have been under the care of Sharan prior to my surgery on 2 August and cannot express my gratitude too much for the total care, kindness and professionalism she demonstrates. She works closely with Mr D’Liguori ,my surgeon, to ensure a complete care package. If I’ve had any queries or problems she has been there for me. Sharan always does exactly what she can to put my mind at rest and reassure me. What a wonderful Nurse Specialist she is who works incredibly hard. Thank you Sharan.

My husband and I cannot thank the medical team at Manchester Royal Infirmary enough for the professional and kind treatment that we had at a difficult time in our lives. Specialist Nurse, Sharan Ingram, who works along side Mr De' Ligouri stood out as soon as we met her as kind and compassionate. My husband was due to have a splenectomy which contained a cancerous growth. To make matters more stressful, my husband has severe mental health issues. I am his registered carer. Sharan was patient and receptive to my husbands needs, and genuinely cared that I too was informed and involved in his care as much as possible. I was given her contact number and she kept me updated on all the appointments my husband required. On the day of admission she was great, sorting out a bed for my husband and patiently reassuring him, having a bit of a laugh with him. I don't know what we would have done without her guidance, especially as we were in an hospital which we were not familiar with, and had quite a few appointments on the same day as his admission to the ward. It is great to know there are such dedicated and hard working people in the NHS. It was a pleasure to meet you. From patient and Carer/Family member

Qualifications:

  • Adult Nurse, Level 1
  • Nurse Independent/Supplementary Prescriber

Profile

I began my nursing career at Altrincham General Hospital, Market Street as an auxiliary nurse whilst gaining further qualifications to commence my nurse training. I qualified as a registered nurse in 1996 with a diploma in adult nursing at Salford University. To further my professional studies, I successfully completed my BA(hons) in Health Studies and became a member of the Medical Gastroenterology team at Salford Royal for 19 years where I held various positions, mainly that of ward manager on the Gastroenterology ward for 10 years. I then proceeded to change my career pathway from ward management to a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Oesophageal-Gastric cancer for approx 18 months. I then returned to medicine to establish and implement alongside Consultant Gastroenterologists, the liver and pancreatic services at Salford Royal.

My role as specialist nurse requires me to be an active member in the delivery of care to patients with a pancreatic, liver, bile duct and duodenal cancer and liver cirrhosis initially at Salford Royal and presently at Manchester Royal Infirmary. I work alongside the hepato-biliary (HPB) multi-disciplinary team to co-ordinate suspected and confirmed cancers investigations and any interventional treatments that patients may require to alleviate their symptoms of jaundice. This requires me to be an autonomous practitioner with a high level of consulting, communication and assessment skills to enable me to deliver a high standard of care.

I continue to further my professional studies by completing the Developing Clinical Skills course, Non-medical prescribing and Enhanced communication course to enable me to care for my patients autonomously.

I was approached to join the liver and pancreas surgical team at MRI in August 2015 where I continued my Macmillan clinical nurse specialist role, developing the service, networking with other trusts and ensuring the patient experience is of a high standard. I fully enjoy caring for my patients and their families with a hepato-pancreato-biliary cancer. Making a difference at the right time in their patient pathway.

I changed my career pathway by joining the Christie quality and standards team as the matron in February 2020. Paramount to the patient experience is the ongoing education and support for nursing staff delivering the care at the Christie. Monitoring and reviewing standards is central to patient care especially with evolving treatments for all tumour groups,
