About Jan

I am a Clinical Nurse Specialist, specialising in female and male bladder issues. I manage a specialist nurse team here at Benenden Hospital and work within our urogynaecology and urology services, offering expertise in areas like urinary incontinence, pelvic floor exercises and pelvic prolapse.

I qualified as a registered nurse in 1981 and initially worked at Benenden Hospital from 1982 to 1986. After having my children, I worked in addiction rehabilitation and counselling for five years.

I returned to Benenden Hospital in 2000 to work on our inpatient wards and in 2008 started to focus on continence care. Since then, I've set up nurse-led clinics in the hospital and work closely with our Consultants in urogynaecology and urology.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my granddaughter, reading, yoga, fitsteps and going to the theatre.
