about-img

I feel very passionately about ladies health and how menopause can effect women physically and emotionally. Do not let menopause and your hormones control your life. With education and treatment you and your families lives will improve.

I really do understand how you feel as I am a menopausal woman and take HRT. I know how the symptoms of menopause impact your life on a daily basis.

My Experience

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 Bourne 2 Care is now a recognised service provider and registered manager regulated by the Care Quality Commission – Reg no. 10908439115

Over the past 7 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 will be added to 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.

Finalist in the Nursing Times Awards

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.

What People Say About Me?

Working in partnership with Bourne 2 Care, the Trust has launched a package of support for our staff to understand more about menopause and how this may affect them. Diane’s regular menopause sessions are important to all our staff and have helped them to understand their symptoms, give confidence by talking openly and positively about the menopause and provide reassurance with advice and support that is available.

Ann Hart, Wellbeing Officer, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust

I cannot recommend Diane’s wealth of knowledge and expertise enough to help educate women around the topic of menopause in the workplace. Diane presents to staff who attend the monthly sessions and takes time to provide reliable and accurate resources both evidence based and opinion focussed. This has empowered those who have joined the webinars and has made such an impact in a short space of time. This topic is only going to grow and become a stronger staff offer moving forward into a post-covid workplace. Thank you to Diane for all that you continue to do to strengthen our female workforce to become happier, healthier and listened to!
