What we need for sleep to arrive and why sometimes it runs a mile!
Agenda
Joanna became registered in adult general nursing in 1986 after studying at The Middlesex Hospital, in London. She then completed her paediatric nurse training, studying at Westminster Children's Hospital, London, before moving to Herefordshire.
After working on several paediatric in-patient units, she left her role as senior staff nurse, to work in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for 10 years as the prescribing ADHD nurse specialist. This is where Joanna’s interest in sleep began.
In 2017, Joanna left the NHS to complete further training in sleep and the treatment of sleep disorders at Oxford university, Southampton university and Northumbria University, before setting up an independent sleep health service, WyeSleep, in Hereford in 2019.
Today Joanna supports clients with insomnia, delivering sleep workshops to a range of businesses and charities, whilst working to spread the message of the importance of sleep for physical and mental health.
She is one of the co-founders of British Sleep Pharmacy Services (BSPSS), a charity aimed at supporting community pharmacists to improve access to sleep services to the public.
