Meet The Team - EARS Clinics

My name is Sinead and I have been working in healthcare for over 12 years and have been a registered nurse for 7 years. Over the years I have worked in a variety of different acute hospital settings which has helped me to gain a wide range of knowledge and skills relating to health. In 2023 I decided I would like a change in career but also to still be looking after peoples health in some way. This is when I joined the team at EARS clinic and I am thoroughly enjoying my role as an Aural Care Specialist Nurse.

I began in the ambulance service in 2006, advancing from a renal driver to Paramedic, a qualification I completed at Glasgow Caledonian University. My career allowed me to witness the profound moments of people's lives, teaching me deep care, empathy and kindness. Personal reasons led me to leave the service in 2022, but I still maintain my registration and occasionally work shifts. In 2023, I earned my DipHe in aural care and now passionately deliver high-quality care at EARS Clinics. I have 3 daughters, 2 granddaughters and I am also a proud dog mum of 3.

My name is Lindsay. I dedicated over six years to early childhood education with my qualification being in Social services (Children & young people). I ventured into healthcare by joining EARS Clinics as an administrative assistant while continuing in childcare. Intrigued by the medical field, I eagerly pursued further education and completed specialised training to become an Aural Care Specialist.

 

My extensive experience in early childhood education, particularly in managing challenging behaviours, supporting children with special needs and ongoing training in Speech and Language Therapy has been invaluable in my healthcare role. Now, each day at the clinic is a fulfilling experience as I apply my skills in this vital healthcare role. I have no human babies of my own, though a proud bunny mum to Drake & Josh.

My name is Leighann, I worked as a dental nurse from 2007 until 2023. During my time working in dental, I was able to gain expertise in all aspects of dental care, including 7 years assisting with Maxillofacial surgery. I enjoyed all aspects of dentistry but I especially enjoyed patient care. Over the years I found I was able to develop skills in understanding and empathy which I have been able to transfer into my everyday life. I was lucky enough to join the team at EARS in June 2024 and professionally it has been a move that I thoroughly enjoy (maybe even more than the patients).
