Sarah Leech

I am a dedicated, dependable, team-focused, expert nurse who strives to provide highest quality care that is both individualised and holistic to patients and their whānau. My current position as Associate Charge Nurse Manager in The Heart & Lung Unit at Wellington Regional Hospital has utilised and further developed sound communication and leadership skills and provided me with an in-depth understanding of the Cardiology Service both within the Capital & Coast District and nationally. I have a passion for Cardiology and am excited to continue to pursue a career in this area.
