Meet Kim! One of our Specialist Community Nurses at Respond.

“I began training in 1981 and qualified in 1984. I worked on the Surgical Unit as a Senior Nurse at the Royal Preston Hospital until 1997.

In that time I continued with post-graduate education, including certificates in Colorectal Care, Stoma Care, teaching, counselling and Palliative care.

In 1997 I commenced the role of part-time Stoma Nurse for the Guild Community Trust in Preston, whilst continuing to work on the surgical wards as a Staff Nurse.

In 1999 I was employed as a full-time Colorectal/Stoma Nurse at the Royal Preston Hospital providing care and support for stoma patients and bowel cancer patients across the organisation. In 2007 I qualified as a Nurse Prescriber and continued to practice until I retired from the role in October 2017.

My expertise and desire is to provide high-quality stoma nursing care using patient-centered experiences; I want to offer a gold-standard holistic service to all stoma patients”.
