I work one day a week as a hepatitis nurse specialist. I didn’t start my nursing career until I was 36 because there wasn’t a training college in the Bahamas where I lived.
I have spent 30 years at Mount Vernon hospital but reduced my hours to look after my husband who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
I still felt I had something to offer after he passed away and put the word out to colleagues. Someone mentioned hepatitis and I thought, why not?
I am on the road every Wednesday by 7.30am after a bowl of porridge. It is a lovely drive down through the Chilterns listening to Heart radio and I still enjoy my job five and a half years later.
