After qualifying from Southampton University in Adult Nursing, in 2006, I moved to Devon and worked in the Emergency Department for 3 years. Whilst there I attended Paediatric Emergency courses to further my education. I then moved to Hampshire to be closer to family and worked in Queen Alexandra Hospital in the Emergency Department for a further 3 years as a senior Nurse. Having obtained this hospital experience, I wanted to have more of a continual approach to primary care enhancing all aspects of patients’ health and wellbeing and therefore moved to Forest End Surgery as a Practice and Emergency Nurse in 2012. There I gained a varied and wide amount of knowledge starting to develop my nursing skills as a Nurse Practitioner. This learning gave me a detailed evidence based approach which I can incorporate into my work, allowing me to work autonomously. I moved to Swan Surgery to assist in setting up the Rapid Access Clinic, relieving GP pressure of growing demands in rising population. I gained my Non-Medical Independent Prescribing qualification in 2017 and became the Acute Care Team Supervisor for both the RAC service and the Home Visiting Service. The patients we are am able to examine within the in the Acute Care Team include complaints of chest pain, upper/lower respiratory tract infections, abdominal pain, urinary tract infection, rashes, infected wounds and generally unwell children to name but a few.

I joined Swan Medical Practice in 2018, as a Nurse Practitioner and work both on the Home Visiting and Rapid Access Team, this is a very unique role which utilises my knowledge, skills and experience to review and treat patients with acute illnesses. This service helps to reduce waiting lists and frees up General Practitioners (GP) time enabling them to target their extensive skills and experience for their patients.

I completed my Nurse training in 1994 at University College Hospital (UCH), London. I then worked in London teaching hospitals for 4 years, specialising in Cardiology, Cardiothoracic and Intensive Care Nursing. I moved to Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton in 1998, where I helped to expand the Intensive Care Unit, set up Outreach and a High Dependency Unit while completing my Bsc Hon in Nursing.

After 17 years of working in Intensive Care, in 2015 I moved to District Nursing in Petersfield and Bordon to gain insight into the Community setting and needs, increasing my expertise and knowledge.

I am currently completing my Nurse Practitioners Masters course as part of my Continuing Professional Development and aspire to be the Frailty Lead for this dynamic and evolving team within Swan Medical Practice.

In my spare time I enjoy sailing on the Solent, gardening, playing hockey for Petersfield Ladies and spending time with the family.
