Nurse Practitioners
Becky Stanfield
Advanced Nurse Practitioner
Msc., IP, Bsc. (hons), H.dip.ed., RN. I qualified as a registered nurse in 2001 and have worked within secondary care for a number of specialties, including gastroenterology, respiratory and rehabilitation. I have also worked with the University of Central Lancashire as a Practice Education Facilitator, supporting the student nurses on their practical placements. I moved to work in the community with the intensive home support service in 2018, managing acute exacerbations of chronic conditions and actively preventing inappropriate hospital admission and enabling safe early discharge. This led to a move to primary care in 2020 when I joined Waterfoot Medical Practice. I completed my Masters level in Advanced Clinical Practice in 2021 and have undertaken extended education into care of paediatric minor illness.
