Director/CEO

Rosemary started her career in the NHS as a Healthcare Assistant in 1998 whilst pursuing her nursing studies with Bedfordshire University (previously Luton University). After qualifying as a General Registered Nurse from, she worked in various National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in London, from cardiac wards to gynaecology and breast care ward for four years.

Whilst working on the wards, she developed an interest in health promotion and was made the health promotion link nurse for staff on her ward. It was during this time that she began to take an interest in what we can do to help our own colleague if they have issues or health problems at work.

She then topped up her Nursing Diploma to a degree by completing a BSc in community Nursing (Specialist Occupational Health Nursing) in 2008 at Brunel University. During her career in Occupational Health (OH), she has been very fortunate to work with some very talented OH professionals from the NHS to various industries such as Local authority, Finance, manufacturing, and universities. She learned and gained a lot of experience and skills from the OH professional and has applied their knowledge to her own practice.

In her career, she has had the opportunity to support the development of OH services. She learned a lot from the challenges of being an OH nurse and the need to raise her profile as recognised and valuable members of the team that she works in.

In 2008 started a part-time Master’s Degree in Public Health with St Mary’s University, London. After her degree, she left the NHS as a Senior Specialist Nurse Advisor in 2010 and became self-employed. She later set up a private Occupational Health service, delivering high-quality occupational health service to SME's with sickness absence management, fitness to work medicals, health surveillance, health and wellbeing, new starter screening, workplace immunisations and travel health advice and vaccinations.
