I was born with vactural syndrome. Which includes congenital heart disease, I was blue lighted to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital at birth from Manchester to have a pulmonary valve replaced & a whole in my heart (ASD) patched & I have had 3 open heart surgeries to date.
I have been on the Patient & Public Voice group in the Northwest since September 2025 & I feel it’s a great opportunity to give back to service that has helped me immensely.
I was a beauty therapist for many years & I loved my job, helping others to feel good about themselves.
