Ms Jane Rinaldi, Team Leader, Practice Nurse (Registered Nurse), Credentialled Diabetes Educator

I have had the privilege of working as a nurse for over 35 years. I have worked in a variety of settings, including hospital, community health, rural and remote areas, and general practice.

My background is midwifery/lactation consultancy. My role now in general practice is preventative health care across all ages. A current focus is diabetes prevention and management – working to improve diabetes outcomes through building self-management skills in our clients. I believe in living well with chronic illness.

Ms Allyson Callaghan, Practice Nurse (Registered Nurse)

After years of travelling which involved living and working in a wide variety of hospitals and specialty areas of nursing in both city and rural areas, it has been nice to settle in one place. Practice nursing is completely different and the role has enabled me to expand on my knowledge and skills in all areas of acute and preventative health. This includes asthma education, immunisations, cervical screening, and chronic disease management. I like the ongoing care that we are able to give working in general practice.

Outside of work, my family is my priority.

Ms Gaynor Hobijn, Practice Nurse (Registered Nurse)

I love working in general practice for the variety of patients that we see and hopefully help. It gives me a lot of satisfaction when I have helped clients with preventative health, or when parents are relieved because their child's immunisation was less traumatic than they imagined. I enjoy working with other nurses and doctors and love the input that we can have in the care of clients.

From pregnancy to the end of life, I just enjoy helping people and making a difference in a positive way.
