About me
Before I qualified as a nurse I worked with BHT Sussex (a local housing association and homeless charity), as a support, hostel and day centre worker so I’m familiar with the challenges people experiencing homelessness face accessing healthcare and negotiating the complexities within it. These roles, and a desire to improve health equity ultimately lead to me studying nursing in 2007.
Since qualifying I’ve worked across both community and hospital settings including in a nurse liaison capacity for people experiencing homelessness as well as across other specialist services such as learning disabilities and respiratory.
I joined Arch in the Spring of 2024 having recently worked with the homeless inclusion health team (Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust) as an in-reach nurse but also the hospital respiratory team as a TB nurse specialist. There’s not many places at Arch you won’t find me as I work across almost all of our teams, offering clinics at the surgery as well as supporting the Pathway team facilitating safe discharge from hospital. I’m also part of the Step Down Beds team supporting patients who have recently been discharged from hospital at one of the city’s supported accommodations, and I spend some time with the outreach team who visit patients in a variety of settings who may find it difficult accessing the surgery.
