Sharan was my Specialist Nurse during recent surgery to remove cancerous growth from my liver. She took great care to explain the operation and the care I would receive afterwards and was always available to answer my questions and offer advice over dealing with concerns I had during my recovery.

Sharan always had time for us and explained everything very clearly and in detail. We felt that we could contact her at any time and if she was not available she always rang us back.

I can truly say that my experience as a patient of Mr De' Liguori Carino (hereafter LC)and his team, especially Sister Sharan Ingram (hereafter SI), has been so positive that it has restored my faith in the NHS. I was seen quickly, got a firm date for both operations (March 2017 and November 2018) and received clear and unpatronizing explanations. Although I knew that my condition was serious, any interaction I have had with either LC or SI has unfailingly left me feeling more positive. The particular qualities that Sister Ingram brings to her role are: dependability (when she says that she will visit you in the ward or will e-mail you, she unfailingly does), kindness (she really listens), interest in her patients (she treats them as the individuals that they are) and is ever willing to inform them knowledgeably about their condition.

Sharan is professional at all times whether face to face or on the telephone. She has an excellent understanding of liver re-section procedures and provided me with all the answers I had both before and after the procedure had been completed. She is a credit to her profession whose approach to her duties is exemplary. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any patient who comes in contact with her.

Sharon was my specialist nurse during my recent stay in Manchester Royal. Firstly she rang to introduce herself and made arrangements to see me in clinic. She listened to any concerns that I had regarding my surgery and gave me clear and precise answers. She has the gift of making you feel that you are her only patient and you can tell by the way she does her job that she really is a brilliant specialist nurse. Nothing was too much trouble for her to do to help you and I thank her so much for her kindness.

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,
