This is our way of saying “thank you” and shining a light on their strength, resilience, and leadership.
“Suliana hails from Tonga and has been working as a Registered Nurse for 12 years with 2 years specialising in Diabetes and 8 years in Neurology. She has worked as a Parkinson’s Clinical Nurse Consultant (CNC) where established the Parkinson’s services in one hospital including the Parkinson’s Outpatient clinic. In the past year, she has been employed as a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) CNC at Sydney Adventist Hospital (SAN), the 4th DBS center in NSW.
Suliana set up the DBS service for the SAN, consulting on DBS referrals from Neurologists, and educating patients with Parkinson’s on DBS therapy and management. She works with the DBS multi-disciplinary team to assess, diagnose, and manage Parkinson’s patients eligible for DBS therapy. Parkinson’s is the second most common neurological condition in Australia and has no cure.
Passionate about helping those in need, Suliana has also started a community outreach program at her local church assisting the elderly with tasks like gardening and home cleaning through her ArcCare team.
Looking ahead, she would love to promote health awareness and education within the Pacific communities’ people to prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. She believes living a healthy lifestyle leads to a happier and long life.
Suliana is also one of the nurses who assisted the PWPBN Cancer Screening Project”
Stay tuned as we celebrate these inspiring women who continue to shape and lead our communities.
