Generally it’s advisable not to share things like this on TSR, while this is more for academic things like UCAS applications and assignments where anti plagiarism software is used, you also don’t want others coping your work.

WRT what you’ve written here, it’s pretty comprehensive and gives a broad illustration of your abilities, what is looked at when these are read is that you a) show genuine interest and motivation for applying for the specific post you are going for and b) meet the essential and desirable criteria in the person spec. It looks like you may have structured this in this way, but I can’t comment fully as I’ve not seen the JD or PS

I usually start these off with a “headline” paragraph as an attempt to get the readers attention and sell myself as interested and a good match for the post I am applying for.

I would avoid specific comments like “I administer oxygen to patients with saturations of less than 90%”, if you want to talk about this then I would use language such as “I administer medications where indicated to patients I have assessed following local protocols”. The 90% thing could be pulled apart in so many ways (why 90%? What is normal target spo2 on news? What if they’re a chronic T2RF? What if it’s not prescribed?) whereas using broad terminology allows for these variables.

You’ve hinted towards examples of where you have performed well (audits, award from the medical director) this is good, you could go into more detail here and these are things you can refer to in interview as well.

“I am also willing to perform duties outside my job description“ - I would remove this, while I get what you are trying to say here, it could potentially give the wrong message suggesting you work outside your bounds of competence.

If you want to share more details about the post - you can do this through private messaging me if you want - I’m happy to try and give more detailed feedback if you would like :smile:
