TO

COME.

I qualified as an RGN in Southampton in 1991 and after gaining experience in general hospital nursing, I became a research nurse into asthma and hayfever in which time I completed the Diploma in Asthma Care. I moved back to my home town of Wantage in 1997 to take a post in diabetes research for young adults with type I diabetes at University of Oxford. Whilst in this post I completed the Certificate in Primary Diabetes Care at the University of Warwick.

Joining Church Street Practice in 2005 I entered the dynamic and demanding environment of practice nursing.  In the practice, I have completed various training courses to help me become a competent practice nurse. As well as experience in smoking cessation and chronic conditions such as asthma, heart disease and stroke, my special interests are diabetes and I am gaining experience in management of difficult to heal wounds.
