Nicola Standring-Brown

After starting her career as a staff nurse in an acute and high dependency respiratory ward Nicola found her passion for respiratory medicine and undertook a masters degree in long term conditions. She moved into specialist respiratory medicine as a clinical nurse specialist participating in pulmonary rehabilitation, outpatient clinics, oxygen assessments, and supporting ward staff in the management of respiratory patients. Inspired to take action earlier and prevent as many late diagnosis and emergency admissions as possible she then moved into primary care. Nicola works clinically and is employed as a Senior Nurse Educator for the South Yorkshire workforce and training hub. She supports the wider community of health care professionals through chairing the South Yorkshire Respiratory Interest Group (SYRIG) locally and helps develop services as part of the South Yorkshire Respiratory Network. In her spare time Nicola enjoys climbing, reading and long walks.
