When she was 11 years old, Helen decided she wanted to become a Physiotherapist.
Helen achieved her goal by joining Bedford Hospital as a Respiratory Medical Physiotherapist in 1993!

"Going into theatre is very daunting & a scary experience for patients so being able to make them calmer in the moment to get them through the experience is very rewarding.”

In Bedfordshire, our NHS colleagues all have wonderful differences that make us unique but one thing we have in common is that we have had the Covid-19 vaccination.
Join the millions already vaccinated by accepting the vaccine when it is offered to you!
