He spent most of his career working in a community nursing setting, building a passion for wound care.

Being successful in the role has led to the role out of ‘Enhanced Wound Care Nurses’ across the trust.

Matthew has taken the opportunity to become a community team lead on a secondment to hone his leadership and management skills, but was always keen to return to his passion and sought out a position in the local Tissue Viability Specialist Team as Advanced Tissue Viability Specialist Nurse. Matthew is an independent nurse prescriber. 

Within his current role Matthew provides support, guidance and training to Primary Care across multiple practices in Hampshire.
