Summary

  • I am a certified wound & ostomy advanced practice nurse with 23 years of experience in wound and ostomy care. I have practiced at Mission Hospital providing inpatient wound care and was a consultant in that role for 10 years. I have worked at TRH in the outpatient wound care/ostomy/foot care clinic for the past 13 years. I have run the nurse-driven clinic and now we are converting our clinic back to a provider-based clinic.
