I staffed on Devonshire Ward and then went off to do a Diploma in Renal & Urological Nursing (plus the ENB 134) for a year. On my return I worked in Hanbury Dialysis Unit until I became a Night Sister for two fantastic years. I then worked as a Relief Sister until I was appointment Sister Milward in 1985. From Milward I went into the Princess Alexandra School of Nursing as a Lecturer for the Renal Course for 2 years and since 1993 I've been a Lecturer in Sexual Health. In 2000 I returned to The Royal London on a secondment to Barts and The London for 3 years to lead up on their Practice Development Strategy.

I am still working in Whitechapel in the School of Nursing. I am living with my partner Janet in East Sussex. Having moved down the coast from East London after many years I am now discovering many different new hobbies. Sailing and an allotment to name but two.

In the beginning of 2005 I gave up caffeine and alcohol. On 10 March 2005 I gave up smoking after 28 years. Then in April 2005 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer - two weeks BEFORE Kylie who then stole my limelight.

I am really looking forward to our reunion and catching up with everyone again after so long.
