Ope Olufowobi

Registered Nurse

Initially I never wanted to be a nurse, I wanted to become an actress! However, during secondary school in Nigeria, I realised I had a desire to help people remain well and as happy as possible. This desire, coupled with an interest in medical sciences, meant a career in nursing seemed to fit the bill. I have since found nursing to be an excellent career, as it gives you the opportunity to truly help people with evidence-based practices that have been tried and tested over time.

As part of the support centre, we focus on HC-One’s primary objective to provide the kindest possible care to our Residents, which we achieve by delivering the best possible service to homes.
