Heidi has been a Tissue Viability Nurse since 2002. Her interest and passion in the prevention and management of pressure ulcers began, however, in 1987 on registering as a nurse.

She has worked in both acute and community care. She has a private consultancy company and is currently a part time Tissue Viability Nurse Specialist for Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust. She is a Past Chair of the Tissue Viability Society and an honorary lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire. She is a recipient of the Chief Nursing Officer for England’s Gold Award for services to Tissue Viability. Her passions centre around education, improving services for patients and team development. She is published under the names of both Guy and Sandoz.

The Society of Tissue Viability Fellowship Award was a most delightful surprise. The Society has been a huge part of my TV career development and learning, having been there from the very beginning of my journey in 1987. The fellows that have come before me have been career long inspirations to me and each has contributed to my development whether they know it or not 😊 It is extremely humbling that I have been recognised alongside them. I am proud of my involvement with the Society and value the friendships made because of it
