Claire Marie

I’m Claire. I am 45 years old and work in the NHS as a Phlebotomist. Prior to this I worked as a paediatric nurse for 14 years in the NHS.

In addition to my work in the NHS, I’m also qualified in complimentary and beauty therapy and practice these around my phlebotomy role. This provides a great balance in being able to do the things I love.

I enjoy running and I am a member of a local running club and have run two half marathons. I have my third one in October. I love fashion and I have an Instagram page dedicated to this. I also like reading and crafting and I especially enjoy making candles.

A couple of fun facts about me: I once appeared on Songs of Praise when they were filming in Great Ormond Street hospital where I was working at the time.

I was once on the front page of The London Evening standard during the celebrations of a rare England football win!
