Meet the Nursing Team

Sally

Sally

Hello, my name is Sally and I am the Director of Nursing at Over The Wall. I started as Director of Nursing in December and I feel privileged and excited to be back working here again as, previously I worked as Nursing Coordinator for 2 years until I my daughter came along in 2014 and prior to that had volunteered at camp for several years. 

I have been qualified as a paediatric nurse for 22 years. In 2009 I gained my Masters as an Advanced Paediatric Nurse Practitioner working within urgent care and paediatic assessment units. Then in 2016 I decided to move into more management roles and became Matron for Emergency and Acute care overseeing a busy Emergency department and other areas. For the past 3 years I have been Matron for Children and young peoples services. 

Out of work I enjoy going to the gym, hiking up mountains in the Lake District, cooking and spending time with friends and family.

Gemma Johnson – Nursing Coordinator

Hi, my name is Gemma and I am a Nursing Coordinator at Over The Wall Camp. I joined the charity in January 2024, and prior to this had been coming to camp as a clinical volunteer since 2019, so having the opportunity to make camp my job is a real privilege!

I qualified as a paediatric nurse in 2016 and worked on children’s hospital wards, before moving to children’s A&E. My most recent role before moving to Over The Wall Camp was as a Paediatric Clinical Skills Educator, where my job was to teach and support nursing staff, particularly newly qualified nurses.

My favourite thing about working for Over The Wall Camp is getting to meet all of our amazing campers and families, learn more about their journeys and watch them thrive at camp.

Outside of work I enjoy getting stuck into a good tv series, spending time with my loved ones and listening to music.
