Outgoing chief hopeful for her ‘small but mighty’ nursing charity

In January, founder and chief executive of the School and Public Health Nurses Association (SAPHNA), Sharon White, announced her retirement after 45 years of working with children, young people and their families and almost two decades leading the charity.

Marking the end of her career, Ms White has spoken to Nursing Times about how she fell into the specialty she has come to love, the successes of her “small but mighty” charity and why she is hopeful that this government might be the one to finally invest in school nursing.
