I trained as a Registered Nurse (adults) at Salford Royal Hospital just outside Manchester, qualifying in 1982. I gained experience in medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics and colorectal surgery before taking up the post of Lead Nurse in the Intestinal Failure Unit at Hope Hospital in Salford in 1996. I gained a BA (Hons) in Health Studies in 1995. 

The Intestinal Failure Unit is one of only two in the United Kingdom specifically funded and designated by the Department of Health (National Commissioning Group) for the treatment and management of complex IF patients. As the Lead Nurse I am required to provide frequent advice to local, national and international colleagues from many disciplines, regarding the care of IF patients. This includes attending and being an active participant in regular local, regional, national and Department of Health meetings to provide expert nursing advice and knowledge and a recognised contributor to the body of knowledge concerning IF at a local and national level.

I am a regular attendee and contributor at many national and international conferences and have authored and co-authored various published papers on different aspects of intestinal failure.

I have recently been integral in securing funding for a corporate Nutrition Support Team within my Trust.
