Suzie Bacon – Nurse
Suzie joined our Poole team in September 2017 and her infectious smile and bubbly personality soon made her an extremely popular addition to the team. Suzie has lived in Dorset since she was 2 years old and enjoys going for long walks and exploring new places with Lucas, her rescued Staffordshire Bull Terrier. When not out walking Suzie enjoys playing the piano and relaxing to music at home.
At work Suzie particularly enjoys nursing critically ill patients from intensive care back to full health. She is also interested in canine behaviour and would like to study further in this field. As well as the more usual domestic pets Suzie has a huge interest (bordering on obsession) in primates!
