Roz Welsby - RGN RSCN, Nursing Manager
Roz has been with the centre since 1989. Realising that infertile couples although emotionally stressed are not generally physically ill, she was instrumental in developing the caring, homely service that we still offer today. She is well aware of those aspects of the service such as privacy and confidentiality that are enormously important to the individual couples. |
