Karen is a nurse by background and completed her training at the University of Stirling in 2007. She has since worked across both public and private hospitals, gaining extensive experience in the areas of risk management, clinical safety and training. With her specialist interest in primary care and asthma, Karen maintained her registration for general practice while leading the deployment of new IT systems and training staff in digital health applications and technology used in the NHS. As such, Karen is registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (04I0460S) and has completed her own training in Clinical Risk Management. Outside of all this, Karen is another lover of the great outdoors. She is passionate about exploring and travelling, whether that’s in her camper van in the UK, or overseas while kitesurfing and snowboarding. This love of the outdoors has enabled Karen to live and work in some spectacular places. Amongst all this, she also enjoys cooking.
