Biography
I am dedicated in my role as Lead colorectal nurse specialist at The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Trust. I have led the colorectal nurse specialist service for the past 4 years, however I have worked as a nurse specialist within the service for over 11 years.
As well as managing the team I also have my own clinical case load seeing anal and colorectal cancer patients throughout their treatment pathways including surgery, oncology or best supportive care. I understand the importance of being the patients advocate and individualised patient care and strive to drive the colorectal service forward taking into account research and development to deliver high quality patient care.
