I qualified as a Nurse in 2002 from Oxford Brookes University and began my career at The John Radcliffe Hospital, remaining there for a number of years, discovering a love of caring for surgical patients. I moved to work at St Mark’s Hospital, where I developed a strong interest in colorectal surgery. That passion ultimately led me to specialize in stoma care. I’ve now been a Stoma Nurse for over 18 years, the past seven years at The Royal Surrey Hospital.

We care for a wide range of conditions including being a national centre for Cystectomy surgery. Working closely with patients and supporting them through life-changing procedures continues to be incredibly rewarding and even after all theses years there are still challenges faced and things to learn.
