English

Laura is a nurse at Tend Harewood with a broad background in healthcare, having worked in mental health (both inpatient and community settings), rest home care, surgical wards, and both rural and urban general practice.

She runs nurse-led clinics in managing long term conditions and is interested in managing diabetes, COPD, asthma and heart failure. Laura is also interested in sexual health and takes a preventative, patient-centred approach to care.

Laura enjoys working as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with GPs, prescribing pharmacists, nurses, health coaches and health improvement practitioners to deliver wrap-around care tailored to each patient.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, playing netball, doing pilates, biking, gardening, walking and travelling when she can.

I’m passionate about prevention and helping people maintain quality of life when living with chronic health issues. I really value the care team approach, working together to provide wrap-around care for each patient.
