Katie studied at the University of Nottingham for a Master of Nursing Science. She chose to specialise in women’s health once qualified and worked for many years in emergency gynaecology and early pregnancy care in Nottingham.

In 2015 she moved to Genito-Urinary Medicine and worked at senior staff nurse level, delivering all aspects of care relating to STIs, contraception and HIV.
