Colette

size 5

Nurse consultant for children and young people

Because of Colette’s poor health as a child, her family doubted her ability to become a nurse and she moved to London to work in a bank. But the experiences she’d had in hospital as a child, feeling scared and alone, motivated her to create a happy and welcoming atmosphere in the wards where she worked. Colette developed a close relationship with a teenager with asthma who she worked with over four years. When the girl died, Colette was inspired to become an asthma nurse.
