Kelly Sweeney

I started my journey at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QE) as a Health Care Assistant within Critical Care in June 2016. In April 2017 I was successful in my application to join the first ever Training Nursing Associate (TNA), course starting in April 2017 and qualifying in May 2019 with a foundation degree.

Following graduation I remained in Critical Care, building on the knowledge and skills I had developed over the two years of training. I then joined the Education Team at the QE working across sites with the TNAs before joining University College Birmingham where I now teach on the TNA Apprenticeship Program.
