Children's Epilepsy Nurse Specialist
Parents/Clients
Every day, I am reminded of the incredible resilience and strength that children, young people and families possess when faced with a diagnosis of a long term condition such as epilepsy.
​
I work at an expert level with a non-medical prescribing qualification and am passionate about educating and advocating for families facing these challenges.
​
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is seeing the confidence grow in both the children and families as you learn to manage your condition effectively. Education is a powerful tool, and equipping you with the knowledge and resources you need can make a remarkable difference in your quality of life.
​
I believe that collaboration with other healthcare professionals is essential, as it ensures a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to care. I strive to tailor interventions and treatments that meet each child's unique needs, ensuring their well-being and development.
​
The joy of seeing a child achieve milestones, no matter how big or small, keeps me motivated and reminds me of the profound impact compassionate informed care can have.
​
Ultimately, my goal is to empower families to face the future with confidence and hope, knowing you have a dedicated advocate in your corner.
​
Knowing that I play a part in the journey, offering not just clinical expertise but warmth and understanding, is what makes this work truly meaningful to me​​​​​
