I have worked in the NHS for 28 years. I trained as a cardiac physiologist at the Middlesex and UCH hospitals and after I had my first child, I joined the cardiology department at King George Hospital. Here I helped to develop the pacemaker implantation and follow-up service.

After four years I took up a position at Oldchurch Hospital to lead the pacemaker follow-up service, moving across to Queen’s Hospital with the rest of the team in 2006. My specific areas of interest are in atrial fibrillation and end of life care for patients with ICDs.

Outside of work I have three children, a grandchild and two crazy cats.  I have also volunteered with St. John Ambulance for 32 years.
