Rowena retired from work in 2015 due to fatigue and reduced mobility and moved to a retirement flat in Worcestershire in 2018. She remains as independent as possible, driving and using a rollator, crutches or power chair when needed.
Rowena enjoys socialising and stays connected with the NMC through summer visits and online meetings during the winter. She has recently adjusted her diet to increase protein intake and manages several food and medication intolerances.
