Nuffield Health Chester, The Grosvenor Hospital has appointed a Lead Paediatric Nurse to bolster the leading private hospital’s expert team and service offering.

Emma Taylor, a committed and compassionate Paediatric Nurse has more than ten years’ experience in the industry and has previously worked for the NHS on a dedicated children’s unit, as well as in the private sector.

Emma qualified from Salford University, where she obtained a degree in children’s nursing before joining the NHS, where she gained progressive experience rotating medical, surgical and high dependency areas, caring for children with common childhood illnesses and chronic conditions that required both emergency and routine treatment.

Emma, who joined Nuffield Health Chester Hospital in 2016 has previously worked in other private hospitals, offering support to both children and families accessing inpatient and outpatient services. She said: “I am really enjoying working here at Nuffield Health Chester, The Grosvenor Hospital and have settled in really quickly.

“The most rewarding part of being a paediatric nurse is working together with children and their families to make experiences they may view as unpleasant to be much more positive.

“Finding a way to effectively communicate with children, providing age appropriate play and distraction to help them through the process is at the very heart of what I do and I am looking forward to providing a caring and effective paediatric service here at Nuffield Health.”

Jenny Gray, Sales and Services Manager at Nuffield Health Chester, added: “Our Lead Paediatric nurse Emma is a highly respected nurse with years of experience in the industry.

“Here at Nuffield Health we realise that bringing your child into hospital can be a very worrying time. Emma’s expertise will be invaluable in supporting children and families who come to Nuffield Health.”
