Endometriosis Nurses Subcommittee

It is a great privilege to represent the endometriosis nurse specialists on the BSGE council.  I have been a member of the subcommittee since 2020, and interim council chair for the past 18 months.  During this time, I have worked with the council and subcommittee, providing education and support events, introduced clear guidance around expected standards of the role particularly relating to AFC banding and time, introduced a mentorship network, as well as bi-annual nurse innovation awards to highlight the outstanding work that specialist nurses are doing across the country.

It has been a joy to meet so many outstanding nurses, and I am committed to continuing the support and development of the endometriosis CNS role, to driving forward change and progression, and to ensuring there is a nursing voice present in all conversations about endometriosis care.

I work full time as a Gynaecology Advanced Nurse Practitioner at Guy’s and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust.  With over 25 years’ experience in women’s health, I am an endometriosis nurse specialist, a British Menopause Society menopause specialist, a nurse hysteroscopist and a non-medical prescriber.  I also hold post graduate qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy.  I am a member of the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) women’s and reproductive health committee (2023 – present), a member of EndometriosisUK medical advisory panel (2022-present), Co-module lead for King’s College London University gynaecology for nurses post graduate course, and faculty for Evelina Education endometriosis course for nurses and essentials of gynaecology course for nurses.  I am involved in multiple study advisory panels and have contributed to textbooks and journal articles on endometriosis, menopause, and gynaecology care. I am passionate about raising the profile of women’s health conditions and the significant impact they can have on individuals, while striving to improve care for women nationally.
