Gemma Sheehan

RN
Tend Ashburton Medical Centre
English

Gemma graduated from nursing in 2022. Since then she has expanded her expertise to become an authorised vaccinator and smear taker, alongside completing a postgraduate in diabetes management.

She has a keen interest in women's health, drawn to this specialty by the variety it offers and the opportunity to discuss often-taboo topics with her patients, making them feel comfortable and understood.

She takes pride in creating a safe environment where people can feel comfortable talking about their symptoms and trying to find solutions to change their life for the better. For Gemma, the opportunity to change lives through improved health outcomes is the most rewarding aspect of her role.

Outside of work, Gemma enjoys reading, taking walks, and keeping her environment clean and organised.

So many people go through life with symptoms they think are normal or can't be fixed. I like to create an environment where people feel comfortable to talk about their symptoms and I always love trying to find solutions to control or change their life for the better.
