Alison Mackmin – Cardiology Staff Nurse

‘The pastoral support for staff is excellent.’

Alison was inspired to take up nursing having observed the treatment of her grandmother after she had suffered a severe stroke. ‘I thought well I could do that; I could make a difference in that way.’ Having completed her Nursing degree at the University of Edinburgh, Alison returned to Norwich to work and thinks there’s one thing above all others that means the NNUH is a great place to work; the people. She says, ‘everyone has been really kind and welcoming, they’re a great bunch of people to work with.’
