I currently work flexibly for the NHS, I am also a Practice Nurse with a special interest in women's health. Working in this way keeps me very current and up to date in my knowledge and skills, and enhances the complete bespoke service I provide to you and your baby throughout fertility/preconception, pregnancy, birth and beyond.
