Anne Alanko completed her nursing studies in 1996. She has been working for a long time in ICU and as a surgical nurse. Surgical care has always been close to her heart. Plastic surgery is among her areas of expertise, and at the Skin Hospital she focuses on consultations and treatment with devices related to it.
Anne tries to be as precise and careful in her work as possible, but she also realises it is important to maintain a human and understanding approach. She is known among the patients as a nurse who is easy to approach and talk to.
“It’s very rewarding when patients feel like they can talk to me, and together we can find a solution to whatever is troubling them. Even a small change can be a big thing.”
Positive changes are taking place at a steady rate in nursing and plastic surgery in the form of various new treatments. Therefore it is important to keep up with the latest developments, which also makes the work varying and interesting.
