With great excitement I qualified as a Nurse 40 years ago.

My first major role was working in Theatres and then working with Gastroenterologists in an endoscopy service. After becoming a parent and moving areas, I worked in a Community Hospital, then in School Health completing a BSc (Hons) Primary Health Care, then moved to lead a Safeguarding Children’s Service where I completed an MA. I retired form this role and then worked part time as a Community Staff Nurse for 4.5 years. Over the years I have discovered family members, friends and colleagues whose lives have been adversely affected by IBS, or live with IBS. When I found out about the IBS Nurse Specialist Role, I believed this was an opportunity to support and help those with this often mis-understood condition. I completed an accredited Hypnotherapy course which included Gut Directed Hypnotherapy, I updated my knowledge of how the digestive system works and what helps alleviate IBS symptoms. Two of us were employed in 2019 to re-start an IBS support service that had ceased some 5 years before, and our practice is based on the NICE Guidelines IBS Pathway.
