I qualified as a nurse in Edinburgh in 1990 and I started in the Green Practice in 1997 having worked in the regional infectious diseases unit for 5 years as a Staff Nurse and HMP Barlinnie Glasgow for 2 years as a Practitioner Nurse. I am the Practice Nurse Team Leader responsible for the professional development and management of the nurse team.
I gained a Fellowship by Assessment (FBA) from the Queens Nursing Institute in Scotland in 2006 and I am a trainer currently teaching and mentoring Practice Nurse students. I also teach medical students within the practice.
I have a special interest in respiratory disease and coronary heart disease and we provide nurse lead clinics and appointments for patients with these diseases.
I am a nurse prescriber and can prescribe medications for a large number or diseases and conditions such as asthma or minor ailments such as urinary tract infections (UTI) and repeat medications such as contraceptive pills.
