| Biography |
Originally working in Emergency Medicine, Joanna developed an interest in preventing Malaria, after caring for several patients who were very unwell after returning from overseas. In 2002 she completed a Diploma in Tropical Nursing from The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
Joanna feels she has been very fortunate to specialize in travel health, helping people to safely explore our world. It has allowed her to work in some wonderful clinics including for The Travel Doctor in New Zealand. In 2005, she set up Winchester Travel Health and managed the company until 2016.
Joanna has worked in a range of clinical areas including GP practices, an independent boarding school, as a sexual health nurse and as a TB nurse specialist, so is fully aware of the specific challenges these roles demand.
Jo’s passion is training, and she finds it a pleasure to spark an interest in travel health and immunisation. Joanna is honoured to previously work as an Associate Trainer for NATHNAC and to have been awarded Membership of the Faculty of Travel Medicine (RCPSG). Joanna particularly enjoys teaching small inter-disciplinary groups of healthcare professionals, especially those who are new to travel health.
