Vicki worked on the Critical Care Outreach Team for more than 4 years working across three hospital sites in HEFT. This gave her the confidence of being an Independent Practitioner and to be able to provide expert high level care outside the four walls of the Intensive Care Unit. This meant Vicki could look after any sick patient anywhere and was able to use her clinical judgement and escalate patients to a higher level of care if necessary. This was a very challenging and rewarding position she thoroughly enjoyed.
Vicki has also done home care nursing via renowned agencies in the UK since 2002, this included general nursing care, complex care and looking after ventilated adults and children with life limiting conditions in the comfort of their own homes. During this time Vicki did Adult Advanced Life Support and Paediatric Life Support with the UK Resuscitation Council.

This became a driving force to the founding of Sisters Care Services.
