I trained as a General Nurse qualifying in 1987 and subsequently worked in a variety of clinical settings which included nursing premature babies, children’s nursing and in general practice. I trained and qualified as a Midwife in early 2001, and although no longer practising, I use my knowledge and experience of birth and feeding practices in my current role as a Specialist Infant Feeding lead for an NHS Community Trust, a post I have held since 2010.
