Amanda Dawson pioneered changes to sexual health services here
A nurse who pioneered significant advances in sexual health services on the Island during a 50 year career in the profession has retired.
Colleagues gathered at the Manx Integrated Sexual Health Centre to bid Lead Nurse, Amanda Dawson, farewell.
Amanda, who was originally from Leeds, qualified as a nurse in Jersey in 1982, but moved to the Isle of Man with her family in 1996.
She was appointed the Island's first Sexual Health Nurse in 2000 and has been pivotal in improving the Island's sexual health services.
Amy Griffiths asked Amanda what made her first realise the importance of such a service for the Island...
