I am a registered LD nurse and practised in the field for a several years working with people with complex health needs before becoming interested in moving and handling training and taking on the role of a training facilitator for my service in 1997. My interest in safer handling developed and I took on an advisory role for my organisation in 2004 working mainly in NHS mental health services although my role also takes me into Neighbourhood Nursing, Neurorehab and Stroke services. I have been a longstanding member of NBE and am a member of the Professional Affairs Group and also served on NBEs Yorkshire branch of committee for several years, more recently as Chair of the group. I have now taken on the Membership Director role for NBE and look forward to meeting our members and ensuring that NBE is working for them going forward.
