Jackie Stephen-haynes RGN, MSc

Jackie Stephen-Haynes completed her RGN in 1984, specialising in orthopaedics and then, more specifically, rheumatology. Working in a rheumatology specialist unit, her interest in tissue viability began with an audit of wounds and a focus on pressure ulcer prevention. Following her MSc, Jackie was appointed to the first tissue viability post in Worcester Primary Care Trust, as a lecturer and practitioner. Louise Toner and Jackie both met on their first day of work, discussing a vision for tissue viability, including strategic, clinical and educational developments.
