Gamuchirai Gavumende was born and educated in Zimbabwe and has 23 years experience as a nurse, moving to the UK in 2021.

Gamuchirai has practised as a primary health care nurse and was also a public health nurse for more than 10 years, where she was part of the HIV/TB program in different districts of Zimbabwe. She was instrumental in enhancing healthcare outcomes by providing technical support abn strategic directions to HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention initiatives, working closely with healthcare workers, communities and the District Health Team. Her passion for compassionate patient-centred care, with a drive to expand her skills in a new and highly specialised field, made her pursue training as a chemotherapy nurse presently.

She is also a certified John Maxwell Beyond Success Roundtable Facilitator – her desire being to transform people, learn together, share and take action. She is now a Mary Seacole Storyteller, working with others to raise awareness about the experiences of Internationally Educated Nurses, empowering them to navigate their nursing careers with resilience and grace.
