Originally from Australia I graduated with a Certificate of General Nursing in 1986. I continued to work and study within hospitals both in the States of South Australia and Tasmania, completing my Certificate in Intensive Care and Midwifery. In 1991 I decided to combine my desire to travel and my nursing career, hence travelled to London for a two year working holiday. I spent a further three years in Saudi Arabia before returning to Ipswich in 1996. I have continued to study and to work, completing my Diploma of Applied Science (Nursing) I worked both in the NHS and Private hospitals before undertaking my position at Barrack Lane as a Practice Nurse in 2004.

I have now qualified as a Nurse Prescriber and have completed my Bsc (Hons) in Adult Nursing. I undertake various tasks as part of the nursing team and have an interest in long term conditions, in particular, diabetes.

I qualified in 1987 from North East Essex School of nursing, and then began working within acute Medicine. I then moved to Ipswich where I worked as a staff Nurse at Ipswich Hospital within care of the elderly, coronary care and endoscopy.

In between this I had my two sons, and with family support I was able to continue with my work. I then decided to change direction, and began work as practice nurse in general practice in Bury St Edmunds. Soon after this I began working at Barrack lane in April 2003. Since then I have completed my Asthma Diploma and generally enjoy all aspects of my work. My outside interests are keeping fit, music, cooking and running. I often participate in the weekly Parkrun.

I have been a registered nurse since February 2011. I have undertaken various roles across different services and joined the practice in November 2017.

I see patients for wound dressings, Long Term Conditions, contraception, immunisations, cervical smears, and a variety of other conditions.

Practice Manager Having been with the Practice for more than 30 years I have seen many changes. My role throughout the years has been very varied but has always been exciting and challenging! I have come to know many patients personally over the years, watching some of them grow up and go on to have families of their own. The Practice team strive to provide a high standard of service. As the Practice Manager I oversee the day to day running of the practice which includes liaising with the Clinical Commissioning Group[CCG], health care professionals including our own doctors and nurses, administrative staff and of course dealing with all aspects of patient care. I also have a strategic planning role together with the partners.
