She has worked in general practice for the past 18 years, initially as a practice nurse and for the past 13 years as a nurse practitioner. She is co-owner of Cygnet Family Practice, a general practice serving the Huon Valley. Kerrie has become increasingly aware of people not being able to access health care on the day they need it.
