I joined the practice on April Fools Day in 2000!  Working in a GP practice was a whole new world for me.  I trained in the East End of London in Whitechapel (the brown bit on your Monopoly board), and went on to become a theatre and anaesthetic sister.  After ten years in London i headed for the Cumbrian hills, where I had my 3 children.

I have been at Court Thorn for 20+, during which time most of you will have seen me with a massive variety of hair colours and also different shades of clogs!! I have now moved with the times and am wearing Dr Marten boots.

During my years here I have gained a special interest in diabetic care, minor injuries, minor surgery and all aspects of chronic diseases.  As a Nurse Prescriber I can deal with most minor ailments without you having to see a doctor.

I am from Penrith, where I still live and am married with 2 children.

When I joined the practice I had previously worked at both Carlisle and Penrith Hospitals .

I have worked in the Radiology departments of both, along with The Outpatients department,  The District Nurses and The Minor Injuries department at Penrith.

I am excited to be part of the team here at Court Thorn and look forward to transferring my skills.
