I’m Sr. Elaine Thornton-Smith, privileged to be working in the Well Baby Clinic at The Paediatric Medical Village 👶🏻.
I graduated in General Nursing, Midwifery & Community Health Nursing. I’ve always been passionate about community, preventive, promotive health & postnatal Nursing. There’s Joy in encouraging new Parents who are feeling inadequate as Parents. I felt equally inadequate in 1984 when my 1st of 3 children was born.
I’ve been privileged to work in this postnatal field of Nursing & have loved every part of my journey.
I joined a Sandton Mediclinic Paediatric Practice under Dr David Richard on 1 May 1995 & have loved every day of my 30-year journey supporting Parents by offering them a Preventive, Promotive Health Service through Immunizing Preventable Diseases. Offering a well-researched introduction to a Solids program. Monitoring growth by weekly weighing visits for the first 6weeks.
It’s a Joy to be part of an awesome TEAM of Paediatritions & colleagues.
