I qualified as a paediatric nurse over 20 years and have worked in a wide range of settings during that time, including paediatric intensive care and complex care. I have specialist knowledge of allergies and asthma. Over the last 2 years, I have been working with children with complex care needs and a range of learning disabilities. I currently work as a Community Children’s Nurse with the NHS. I have a son who has autism, ADHD & learning difficulties and attends a special school. I also provide care for a young adult with profound learning disabilities and epilepsy. We are a family of animal lovers and have a dog & cat at home.
