My name is Joanna Lowry 

 RN DTN BSc Hons MFTM RCPS(Glas)

Joanna is our lead trainer and founder of Immunisation Education. Originally working in Emergency Medicine, Jo developed an interest in preventing Malaria, after caring for a number of patients who were very unwell after returning from travelling overseas. In 2002 she completed a Diploma in Tropical Nursing from The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. 

Joanna feels she has been very fortunate to specialize in Travel Health, helping people adventure all over the world and allowing her to work in London and for The Travel Doctor New Zealand. In 2005, alongside Dr Matthew Dryden, she set up Winchester Travel Health and managed the company until 2016 when Joanna sold the business and stepped back to spend more time with her young family. 

Joanna has worked in a range of clinical areas including GP practices, an independent boarding school, as a sexual health nurse and as a TB nurse specialist, so is fully aware of the specific challenges these roles demand.

Jo's passion is training and she finds it a pleasure to spark an interest in preventative health care and relating to each learner individually to further their knowledge. Joanna was honoured to previously work as an Associate Trainer for NATHNAC (Public Health England), providing Yellow Fever Immunisation Update Training nationally, and also provide training across the country for multinational pharmaceutical companies.

Joanna particularly enjoys teaching small groups of healthcare professionals, especially those who are new to travel health and wondering what this unusual specialism is all about, and where to start!
