Professional experience

Kim’s journey in healthcare began at the age of 18 when she made the decision to join the Royal Army Medical Corps. Eager to make a difference, she underwent rigorous training and became a fully qualified Operating Department Practitioner in 2000. Over the course of her 13-year military career, she honed her skills and gained invaluable experience, including three operational tours that exposed her to a variety of challenging and high-pressure situations.

In 2013, Kim transitioned to the NHS, marking an exciting new chapter in her career. She thrived in this dynamic environment, gaining experience across a wide range of specialties, expanding her expertise, and collaborating with diverse medical teams. Her career in healthcare expanded further as she ventured into the private sector, taking on the role of Theatre Manager at a prestigious private hospital specialising in orthopaedics. Here, she refined her clinical skills, completing her Surgical First Assistant Training and earning her Advanced Life Support qualification – both vital milestones in her continued professional growth.

In July 2024, Kim brought her wealth of experience to Coppergate Clinic, eager to contribute her knowledge and expertise to the team. With her passion for advancing her career, Kim is particularly excited about expanding her knowledge in the field of cosmetic surgery and making a meaningful impact on patients’ lives.

Her diverse experience, dedication to excellence, and commitment to lifelong learning make her a valued member of the Coppergate Clinic team, where she looks forward to making an even greater contribution to patient care.

When she’s not working, Kim cherishes spending quality time with her husband and two children, as well as enjoying the great outdoors. Whether it’s hill walking with their two or embracing the refreshing chill of cold-water swimming, Kim finds joy in staying active and enjoying nature’s beauty.
