Summary

Jess was an NHS nurse working on a mental health ward when a false accusation was made against her, which led into a spiral of bureaucracy that ended her nursing career and changed her life forever… 


Although Jess very rarely does interviews - her story was highly publicised in the UK press, so we wanted to give her the opportunity to tell her story in full and in her own words.


We spoke to Jess about the fragility of women’s reputations, the pressures on nurses and healthcare professionals and how we can both love the NHS but also hold it accountable on the occasions that it does let us down.

Today's episode is sponsored by Hurtility,

helping women get clarity on their hormones and their fertility, with expert-led care from menstruation through to menopause. Yeah, I am always struck by how

0:45.0

little we are taught about fertility and reproductive health. It shames me sometimes as a mum of two

0:51.2

to have conversations with people or doctors, scientists that we're lucky enough to

interview on this podcast and realise that I am learning all the time about something that I should

know so much more about. This is the kind of information I wish I had learned years and years ago.

1:07.9

I fully agree with you. There is just so much that we're not taught about our hormones

1:12.6

and our fertility. And we just don't realize how important it is to actually understand what's

1:17.7

happening with our bodies as women. I've spoken at length about doing my fertility test.

1:22.9

The first one I did years ago and it led me to egg freezing and recently I did a second one which helped

1:28.7

set me down the right path to discovering why I don't get periods. I cannot recommend it enough
