Emma Cronin
Registered general nurse and midwife
24/7 health support line
I'm a registered nurse and midwife in AXA Health's 24/7 health support line team. Prior to this, I worked in the NHS for over 30 years, accumulating a considerable breadth of knowledge across the fields of nursing and midwifery.
My particular areas of specialism and interests are gynaecology, sexual health, midwifery and pregnancy care, paediatric care and mental health. I'm a mother to three young adults, and my interests outside work include providing medical, practical and emotional support to groups run by various church and homeless organisations.
I have also started studying recently for a Diploma in Therapeutic Life Story Work, which is aimed at providing support to children, young people and adults who have been traumatised and helping them build stamina and coping mechanisms for the future. I'm also a Mind Ally for AXA.
