As a younger person, Vicky never imagined she would one day become a nurse — it always felt like an unachievable dream. Yet, as she moved through school and college, it became clear that nursing was the only career she truly wanted to pursue. To make that dream a reality, she funded her university studies through property development, qualifying in 2005 as a Registered General Nurse.
Her early career took her across Intensive Care, Surgical Units, and Theatres, where she had the privilege of working alongside some of the most skilled and compassionate Nurses, Anaesthetists, and Consultants in the NHS. Growing up in a family that valued education and curiosity, Vicky was always encouraged to ask questions and seek understanding — traits that naturally guided her toward teaching and leadership roles, particularly within Infection Prevention and Control (IPC).
During the Swine Flu pandemic, her role in IPC became pivotal and transformative. Working closely with CQC inspectors, she learned how to assess environments for compliance and safety — her first step into the world of consultancy and governance. From that point forward, her passion evolved from simply working in healthcare to helping shape and improve it.
While Vicky continues to maintain her clinical skills, her greatest strengths now lie in developing, repairing, and supporting healthcare services — ensuring they are safe, compliant, and sustainable. Over the years, she has led the successful establishment of six private hospitals and clinics from the ground up and is currently overseeing the development of three more across the UK.
When she is not immersed in work, life revolves around her family and their little menagerie — her husband, two teenage sons, their six-year-old Horsefield tortoise, and a five-year-old Patterdale terrier who keeps everyone on their toes. She loves the outdoors — camping, walking, and cooking (though admittedly, she prefers the eating part).
