A leaflet popped through my door a few weeks ago, and given that the general election was only a few days away, I assumed it was another election flyer.
I'm a writer/researcher and a retired nurse. I worked in the NHS for over 30 years – as a nurse, midwife, specialist heath visitor and senior manager. I've also worked as a charity fundraiser. I retain a keen interest in the politics of health and illness in the developing and developed world. I have a specific interest in Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) with an associated website: www.shiftingsands.org.uk. Contact me at bridthehir@gmail.com
