My Experience And Qualifications

With over 30 years experience as a Registered Nurse.

I am an advocate for women's health especially menopause which is an area I feel very strongly about. I am committed to improving knowledge of the general public and organisations and also the wider health profession.

Since November 2021 Bourne2Care is a recognised service provider and registered manager regulated by the Care Quality Commission – Reg no. 10908439115

Over the past 9 years I have undergone training with the British Menopause Society (BMS) in all aspects of menopause care. In January 2025 I completed my Advanced Certificate in the Principles and Practice of Menopause Care. My details are on the BMS register as a Menopause Nurse Specialist.

Registered Nurse in Emergency Departments

I began my nursing career after qualifying as a Registered Nurse working in Emergency Departments in Birmingham and then the Middle East

Lead Nurse Isle of Man

When I moved back to the UK I lived in the Isle of Man which is where my career started to progress. Having always been interested in health education I was encouraged to be the lead nurse for Health Education at the hospital. Assisting with the creation and implementation of the Governments Drug and Alcohol policies and being able to support many events around the island. I was asked to speak at Nurse Practitioner conferences, on local radio and to write articles for Government magazines.

The pinnacle of my nursing career was as a finalist in the Nursing Times Awards for the Promotion of Health in the Community and also completing my Nurse Practitioner degree before returning to England.

Founded Bourne2Care

I started Bourne2Care in 2013 working as a nurse practitioner in urgent care and providing health education. As the awareness of menopause has increased I now provide private consultations to women all over the UK and Europe and educate health professionals on menopause and HRT across the UK and Europe. Most recently I have been working with the NHS to educate staff about the importance of menopause and the impact on peoples lives and have also started working with Holland & Barrett as a consulting Menopause Expert advising them on all aspects of menopause.
