Sarah is a registered nurse working across the Tauranga clinics. Originally from the UK, Sarah trained as a paramedic in 2007 before expanding her expertise and qualifying as a registered nurse in 2018. She has since gained extensive experience across Emergency Care, PACU, ICU, and at-sea medical support. Before moving to New Zealand in January 2025, Sarah worked in a virtual ward and urgent response team within the community.

Her areas of interest include diabetes management, kidney health and palliative care. Her passion for these areas stems from both her professional experience and personal connection, driving her commitment to improving patient care and outcomes.

As a clinician, Sarah values building meaningful relationships with patients and enjoys the variety that nursing brings, knowing that no two patients or situations are ever the same.

Outside of work, Sarah loves spending time outdoors and reading.

I enjoy meeting new people and being able to help on both a physical and holistic level. Every patient is different and every job is different.

Diabetes is a medical condition where your body has trouble regulating the sugar in your blood, which can lead to health problems, and it often requires managing blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and sometimes medication.
Kidney health
Kidney health means taking care of your kidneys, which are important organs that filter your blood, remove waste, and help control your body's water and mineral balance to keep you healthy.
