I am a qualified Nurse with over 25 years experience and I'm registered with the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council).

I have worked in both acute and non-acute settings, NHS and private. I still work part-time as a Nurse and this gives me a unique insight into how mental health problems can affect physical health, and vice versa.
