First-hand speaker experiences
I started my nurse training in 1979, at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham and my first staff nurse post was on a Maxillo-facial/ENT ward.
I then moved to the Manchester area with my husband and began working part-time night shifts at Wythenshawe Hospital, mostly in general surgery. Following a period of maternity leave, I returned to work, again doing night shifts. I found that I was now working on a gynaecology ward, and this is when I fell in love with gynaecology & Women’s Health.
Whilst still working nights, I completed a Diploma in Nursing Studies; I also went on to complete a degree in nursing studies.
In 1995, I became a junior sister on the same gynaecology ward, in a job-share with one of my best friends. In 1999 I moved to Warrington Hospital as a gynaecology ward manager. In 2001 I was encouraged to apply for a new post being created at Warrington Hospital – a gynaecology clinical nurse specialist (CNS). I was successful in getting the post adopted as a Macmillan post. I also completed a Masters in Cancer Nursing, via a fully funded scholarship, as well as establishing a nurse-led paracentesis service for my patient group.
In 2005 I moved to Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust (now the Northern Care Alliance) and established the post of Macmillan Gynaecology CNS in 3 of their 4 hospitals, as they already had a part-time CNS in post, covering the 4th hospital.
Due to service changes, I am now employed by Manchester Foundation Trust. In May 2021, I completed a ‘retire and return’ and I now work part-time, 2 ½ days per week.
Dr Sharon Bingham has over fifteen years’ experience working in health improvement within Health and Social Care. She recently completed her PhD which adapted, tested and evaluated an eLearning resource to enhance healthcare professional led sexual support for patients and partners in cancer care. Sharon is currently working with the Northern Health and Social Care Trust seeking opportunities to embed the eLearning resource into cancer services through a tiered model of sexual care. Recent achievements include the Professor Eilís McCaughan Cancer Care Research Memorial Award.
