health-alison Mrs Alison Beeney

I completed my 3-year registered nurse training on the Isle of Wight, England. I worked on an acute paediatric ward for 11 years followed by 2 years working with children in the community. As a family we migrated to New Zealand in December 2003 and in January 2004 I started working at St Margaret’s College as a Registered Nurse.

Since then I have completed my New Zealand smoking cessation practitioner training (having already completed the UK equivalent). The college has supported me in completing the New Zealand family planning certificate in contraception and family health. My role as the college nurse also involves being a member of the junior and senior guidance teams.

I enjoy all aspects of child/youth health and working towards a proactive model rather than a reactive, whenever possible. I feel well supported by the Doctors and staff at the St Albans Medical Centre where we have been able to develop a positive partnership of shared care.
