My first experience of working in a prison was delivering rehabilitation programmes and I left this post to undertake my nurse training. After spending several years working in acute hospitals and community drug and alcohol services, a post for an advanced clinical practitioner came up in a prison. The job description really appealed to me with being able to work across the four pillars of advanced practice, and having worked in a prison environment previously, I thought it would be a good opportunity to expand and  develop my skills further.
