Sharan is a shining example of what a nurse should be.....caring, attentive, knowledgeable and always thinking about the patients. She is credit to the team that she works in. If she said that she was going to do something she made sure that it was done and that is a challenge in today's NHS. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sharan to other patients.

I recently underwent a trial procedure called Irreversible electroporation (IRE) at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, Sharan was the HPB Specialist Nurse who followed my care from the start of the trial.
Sharan couldn't have been more helpful and was always quick to respond to any queries that i had. I couldn't recommend more highly Sharan and her colleagues.

Sharan became more a friend than a nurse, I knew I could always ring with any concern or question and she would explain things carefully and in detail. She was available during my stay in hospital, in my out patients appointments and continues to be the valuable link between myself and the rest of a brilliant team.
She also showed compassion and kindness after the loss of my husband just prior to my operation.

During a time of concern and stress Sharan has bee great support to both my wife and myself. She is a very good communicator and provides essential information in a clear and easy to understand manner. From our initial meeting with Sharan she provided us with all the relevant information we required to fully understand the whipple procedure and the ongoing process that we would be going through. Sharan has a very professional attitude but also a caring and compassionate way of dealing with our questions and concerns.

Hi , Sharan is a complete professional. She is happy , caring and confident. At each stage in my procedure she was available and would fully explain every aspect , more than once if necessary. Although I was the patient , she made a good bond with my wife and kept her up to date , this in turn made me more relaxed. She didn't have to consult notes and charts , but knew my progress better than anybody. Totally trusted, thanks.

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,
