Jenny Sewell

Jenny qualified as a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Nursing (Adult) from Southampton University in 2007. From there, she worked in cardiothoracic Critical Care at Papworth Hospital, which she thoroughly enjoyed. She got involved in caring for patients with unique and complex conditions not widely seen or treated in many hospitals. Jenny moved to Bury St Edmunds in 2010 and worked within A+E for a brief time before heading back to Critical Care at Addenbrookes, completing her Intensive Care Course at level 7 at the University of Hertfordshire.

Due to a change in personal circumstances, Jenny had a change in career direction in 2014 when she joined community nursing. From this point, she has not looked back, completing her Degree in District Nursing in January 2020 to become a Specialist Practitioner in District Nursing. Her passion for community nursing, particularly around wound care and palliative care, is something she hopes to use to inspire future nurses to consider the community as a future career option.
