About Jordan

Hi! I’m Jordan. I live in Stockport with my partner, our 2 children & our 2 Dachshund’s Peggy & Winnie. I breastfed my daughter until she was 12 months old & I am currently breastfeeding my son. Therefore, I have first-hand experience.

I’m originally from the London Borough of Bexley, where I was brought up within a very large and loving family. I went to university to study Adult Nursing (2008) and finished in 2011 armed with my Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree. Studying whilst on the job I gained a huge variety of skills. My first job as a registered nurse was in A&E of St Thomas’ Hospital, Westminster, London. I stayed for 14 months before realising that my interest was to focus on helping babies, in Newborn Intensive Care (NICU). Since then I’ve been helping mothers & their babies for over a decade.

I landed my first job in NICU at King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London. I worked alongside a lactation consultant there for 6 years- she inspired me more than she will ever know. She showed me how to care for babies with the most complex feeding issues, I am forever grateful to her. I will never forget the families we helped together- my passion for helping breastfeeding mothers grew from there. At King’s College Hospital I was funded to complete my qualified in speciality training, this included a postgraduate course in special care baby unit (SCBU) nursing, neonatal high dependency (HDU) nursing, neonatal intensive care (NICU) nursing and finally, nursing mentorship. I was then promoted to Jr Sister where I continued to love my career in NICU.

My partner and I decided to move to Manchester in 2018 (he’s a northerner). I continued my career in NICU at St Mary’s Hospital, Oxford Road, Manchester. I was soon promoted to Senior Sister and Shift Coordinator of the largest tertiary, surgical, NICU in the UK where I currently still work.

I have regular training in advanced neonatal life support as well as other annual education updates through my NHS job.

In 2023 I completed an extensive post-graduate diploma in breastfeeding and human lactation with The Centre for Breastfeeding Education and Research, which prepared me to sit the IBCLC exam in April 2024. I passed this exam and am on the official register of IBCLCs – https://lcgb.org

Our triplets were delivered at 31 weeks. We are first time parents so had no idea what to expect. We soon discovered that we were about to embark on the biggest learning curve of our lives and one that had huge emotions attached too. Jordan met us early on in the journey and quickly became someone who we could approach and trust in the unit.

She supported and challenged us in equal amounts -wanting to share information and empower us as parents.  Jordan is extremely knowledgeable but it always felt like she was talking to us not down to us. She shared information at the right level and then followed  it up at later times.

Jordan was also pivotal in my journey to express milk - always willing to share best practice and tips so that I felt confident to express. Sometimes in NICU you need information and knowledge; other times you need a smile and a laugh. Jordan provided everything and was a credit to the unit. Thanks a million,

Thank you Jordan! I'm so proud of us too, these first weeks are so hard 😫 I wish we'd found you sooner! Thanks a million!

Hi, 
We wanted to offer some feedback about one of your nurses. Jordan is a really approachable, conscientious and helpful nurse. She takes care to understand the babies needs and also thinks of ways to improve the babies lives on the NICU. She has made us, as parents, feel comfortable and safe leaving our child. She also went out of her way to help our son and us. She really has gone above and beyond. Jordan particularly helped us with feeding our son- we were unable to breastfeed but Jordan was extremely knowledgeable on how to bottle feed our baby- because he was extremely preterm this came with lots of difficulties that we have now overcome thanks to Jordan.

Thank you so much.

We spent alot of time back for ROP checks so pity we didn’t run in to you. She finally had treatment yesterday so now discharged from Nicu.

Thank you for everything you have done for us, we are forever grateful.

We hope you’re keeping well xx

Dear Jordan,
We are all settled in at our local hospital now and happy to be under one roof. The boys are doing great. I am extremely grateful for all you and your colleagues did for us as a family.
