A serving member of Princess Mary’s Royal Air Force Nursing Service (PMRAFNS), Jo’s enthusiasm for unpredictability and high tempo demands saw her specialise in emergency nursing and has seen her work in numerous locations all over the world, providing high quality nursing care. With a passion for developing others, she moved into a prominent educational post at Birmingham City University before being selected for a secondment to the Florence Nightingale Foundation in the role of Head of Nursing Leadership Scholarships and Programmes. Working as part of the Defence Medical Academy and following these fantastic opportunities, Jo is continuously inspired to develop and promote leadership in the nursing and healthcare cadre. Her current role as Welfare Officer allows her to nurture healthcare professionals of the future through a different pathway than previously experienced.
