Hannah trained as an adult nurse at King's College, London and started her career on a specialist HIV ward at Chelsea and Westminster hospital. This promising start was cut short when Hannah was sectioned under the Mental Health Act in 2007. After years in the acute mental health system, Hannah received treatment at the Cassel Hospital from 2012 -2016, and considers this her greatest achievement. In 2020 Hannah returned to nursing and works as a palliative care nurse and is the Royal College of Nursing Lead Nurse for Lived Experience.
