Valerie Gerrard
Valerie has worked in general practice for the past 18 years, firstly as a practice nurse then after gaining her Master's degree in Advanced practice as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
Although she has had varied roles which mostly involved seeing patients with undiagnosed and complicated presentations, her special interests and passion lay in respiratory medicine.
Valerie has a portfolio career, still working clinically 2 days a week in General Practice alongside an Ambassador role for Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB).
She is also lead for a PCRS affiliated group and has undertaken work for the CCG targeting the reduction in COPD admissions and nurse training. She is vice chair of Norfolk and Waveney Respiratory Clinical Network and Chair of the Diagnostic Steering Group for the East of England Respiratory Clinical Network.
Another area Valerie really enjoys is teaching and education and regularly teaches nurses across East Anglia as a freelance trainer/educator. Valerie sits on the Executive committee of PCRS as well as the Education Committee.
