I trained at the London Hospital Whitechapel. I have worked in most clinical specialities, most recently as the Sister of the Stroke Unit at Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust and have completed my Dip HE  and BA ( Hons). I first really became aware that nutrition was a problem in the acute sector when I returned to day duty when my children started school in 1997. Since then I have been working steadily to improve nutrition in hospital patients. I am a committee member of the National Nurses Nutrition Group and am the Oral Nutrition Spokesperson for them. I was a summit stakeholder on the Improving Nutritional Plan in partnership with the Department of Health which was launched in 2007. More recently I have been seconded into the post of Clinical Nurse Specialist for the Trust to improve and highlight the need for good nutritional support. I am a member of BAPEN (British Association of Enteral and Parental Nutrition and am working on a sub committee to provide further resources about the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool ( MUST). I also have been working with the RCN Nutrition Now Campaign to promote better nutrition and heighten awareness in all hospital staff and am at present working nationally with the NHS Core Learning Unit on an E Learning nutritional care module which will be available to anyone working with institutionalised patients from April 2008.
