About Me

How many years of experience do you have in your field?
I have been a Registered Nurse for over 22 years, gaining a First Class Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing Studies in 1995 and a Masters of Science degree in Nursing Practice in 2002. I have practiced in a variety of leadership roles in the UK and the USA bringing the best of both worlds together in Visioning HealthCare (VHC) which she founded in 2007.
How does your service stand out?
I am passionate about patient and staff safety. My experience in safe patient handling and mobility (SPHM) dates back to 1995 when I implemented my first program, for which I won an award for its multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach. Also, I have led the development of a falls prevention program that crossed the bridge between primary and secondary care and which included risk identification tools, prevention strategies, and nurse-led clinics.
