Ms Joana Ribeiro

Ms Joana Ribeiro is a senior nurse at the Hyper Acute Stroke Unit at UCLH (University College London Hospital). She has been in this post for the last 3 years. As part of her role she works closely with acutely unwell patients on a very time limited treatment basis. Before Ms Ribeiro took on her current post she worked on the Acute Care of the Elderly Unit at UCLH for 3 years.

Ms Ribeiro completed her nursing training in Portugal and this included mental health training. She then moved to London and since that time she has been working at UCLH.

Ms Ribeiro is fascinated by neuromodulation treatment modalities and the fast pace at which they are developing and their potential of changing the field of neurology and psychiatry.
