Jane Currie

What's the most important thing people should know about your approach to your professional work?
I am creative, caring and enjoy working with all sorts of people. I believe strongly in customer service and delivering value. I believe in the "Help me to Heal "team.

Why are you involved in the "help me to heal" programme?
I designed the programme as I felt it would make a difference for those battling cancer

What do you hope people will gain from your involvement in the programme?
I hope they get that I have been in their position and therefore have gleaned some understanding of how to heal emotionally, physically and spiritually after cancer.

Is there anything you expect of people in the programme?
I expect residents to hopefully utilise the experience for their own wellbeing and be open to the power of their minds and thought patterns.

Please list your relevant qualifications and roles

What do you do for fun?

What's your funniest experience in your healing role?
Laughing with a fellow cancer patient when our wigs got caught up and whipped off our heads - we were both bald and we couldn't stop scratching and crying with laughter when we put them back on !!
