Erin’s mental health nursing career began in secure services which led to a passion for early intervention and access to support. She soon began working with adolescents, both in secure units and in the community before exploring a role in primary care. In 2016 whilst working in a GP surgery, Erin was awarded Nurse of the Year 2016 and with her team, Nursing in Mental Health Award for their trailblazing Primary Care Mental Health Clinic. Following this work in Primary Care, Erin progressed to be Lead Nurse and then Head of Nursing (CAMHS) for a large city NHS Trust. Erin joined Oasis Community Learning in 2022 and was charged with designing a mental health strategy. By 2023, a mental health service was formed which serves all 54 of Oasis Academies across the country, a service which proudly was awarded the Nursing in Mental Health Award last year.
