Morvia is qualified as a Registered General Nurse from Ipswich School of Nursing in 1985 and since her qualification she has worked in acute surgery wards at the Ipswich hospital. She progressed from staff nurse to undertake her midwifery training in Nottingham school of nursing in 1988. As a student midwife during her community placement she got a taste for community working. Preferring the challenge of defying the nurse power over patient relationship, as often experienced in a hospital setting, and favoring an equal playing field being an invited guest on the patient’s own turf. She also was the Project Worker for HIV and AIDS for the black Community Nottingham City NHS responsible for sexual health promotion within the premises and outreach into the Black communities. Since joining the contraception and sexual health outreach team Morvia has realised her greatest zeal, in combining both managerial and clinical skills within the role and in the set up and development of several new young people focused services. She has a particular interest in sexual health, and has established several nurse-led clinics for young people on “their turf” in the most deprived areas of the City of Nottingham. Morvia has been an employee of the NHS for over 30yrs and her passions are closely aligned with the underlying ethos and values of the NHS, particularly the importance of building trusting relationships with both patients and staff alike. During a recent interview with the BBC, Morvia was asked, ‘given the current cost improvements plans and austerity measures, would you give up your position as manager if it meant that patients were guaranteed increased quality of service provision?’ to which she replied , “yes, in a Heartbeat!”.
