Joanne has been a Registered Nurse in the UK for over 30 years. Joanne’s career started in south Yorkshire and she moved to Leicester, then London a few years later. Joanne studied for her first degree in Health Studies in 1996 and she has never looked back. Health and wellbeing have driven her nursing work since and Joanne’s focus now, as Chief Executive at the Foundation of Nursing Studies is person-centred practice development and person-centred cultures of care. Wellbeing is an essential part of FoNS and drives the charity forward into the next phase of their work.
Joanne is delighted to have been part of National Self Care Week for a number of years, co-hosting the twitter chat on a number of occasions.
