My name is Suzanne.

​

I have lived in Doune for 13 years, with my husband Richard and my sons.

You may recognise me from my recent role as receptionist at Doune Health Centre.

​

My other experience - 

• I was a registered general nurse for the NHS for over 20 years. I worked in A&E, fracture clinic, and pre-op assessment at Barnsley Hospital.

• I worked at Wakefield Girls' High-School for 4 years as their first school matron, looking after the health and wellbeing of pupils, and teaching health-related classes.

• I worked as a medical writer for GW Pharmaceuticals for 6 years.

​

My inspiration for Carpe Diem Doune -

My mum was always a very independent person. She would go for long walks with her dog and take herself to the shops well-into her old age. But when she began to need help, it was difficult to give her the time she needed while also working full-time and remaining present with my family.

I also appreciate how hard it is for people who need to lean on others while wanting to remain independent. I want to help people experiencing similar difficulties. I want to be the shoulder you can lean on to stay independent.

Seize the day!
