Changes to the Nurse Team have been announced
Hilary Simons, NaTHNaC's Senior Specialist Nurse has recently retired. We thank Hilary for all her hard work and excellent leadership over the years. She will be greatly missed by the team.
We are pleased to announce that Lynda Bramham, former Deputy Specialist Nurse has accepted the Senior Specialist Nurse role for 1 year. Rose Tucker has kindly agreed to cover the Deputy Specialist Nurse role during this period.
Lynda and Rose are both experienced travel health specialist nurses. Lynda has worked with NaTHNaC since 2013 and Rose has recently returned to work with NaTHNaC following a career break. The team would like to wish Lynda and Rose well as they settle into their new roles.
From the end of September/early October, we are also pleased to announce that Michelle Sellors, another experienced travel health specialist nurse, will be joining the nurse team, 3 days a week on a six-month secondment from her current role with UK Health Security Agency. We look forward to working with Michelle in the coming months.
