Joyce qualified as a Registered Nurse in 2011 and began her career at University Hospital Southampton, working as a critical care nurse within the General Intensive Care Unit. She later joined the ICU Education Team and went on to serve as a Clinical Facilitator at the University of Southampton, where she supported nursing students and junior staff in developing their clinical skills.
In 2018, Joyce transitioned into respiratory care, joining the local Integrated COPD team. She became the team leader during the COVID-19 pandemic. Joyce later took on the role of Nurse Team Leader for the Southampton Targeted Lung Health Check (TLHC) programme, one of the UK’s first ten pilot sites, where she was a Responsible Assessor. She also led the associated smoking cessation service, providing tailored support to programme participants. She previously presented her work with the TLHC programme at the ARNS Conference.
During her time in the ICOPD team, she developed and implemented a local shielding guideline during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, she contributed to local COPD guidelines and public health initiatives. She was also actively involved in the hospital’s sustainability group, supporting the NHS goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040. The focus was on reducing the environmental impact of pressurised metered dose inhalers. As part of this, she contributed to a local breathlessness project exploring the causes of salbutamol overuse and improving symptom control through enhanced patient education and prescribing practices.
Joyce now works as a clinical respiratory nurse specialist within a large Primary Care Network in Southampton. Her role includes complex patient management, diagnostics and spirometry, and working within the Urgent Care Team to deliver assessments and treatment for suspected exacerbations.
Her unique integrated role is highly collaborative, working closely with multidisciplinary teams across Primary and Secondary Care to ensure continuity and patient-centred respiratory care. Joyce has also been involved in supporting the delivery of a respiratory education programme funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing. This initiative supports practice nurses across the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System, helping build confidence and capability in managing respiratory conditions.
Joyce is passionate about improving COPD care through education, service development, and national advocacy. and is committed to using her clinical expertise and leadership to drive innovation and best practice in respiratory care. As COPD Lead for the ARNS Respiratory Diseases Sub-Committee, she brings a unique perspective informed by her experience in both Primary and Secondary Care, and looks forward to contributing meaningfully to the future of COPD care across the UK.
