Diana Ham
Consultant Nurse and Sonographer.
Company Director.
Diana qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1983 at Dudley Road Hospital, Birmingham. After working as a staff nurse for approximately 12 months she moved to Good Hope Maternity Hospital to undertake Midwifery training. She realised that her future lay in Women’s Health Care and commenced work as a staff nurse on the gynaecology ward at Good Hope Hospital in 1986. Since then she has developed her expertise in women’s health care, she was the Gynaecology Ward Sister from 1989 until 1994 when she developed an "Early Discharge Scheme" and became the Gynaecology Liaison Sister. In December 2001, following a short secondment developing care pathways, she secured the post of Clinical Nurse Specialist for Fertility. This new post allowed her the autonomy to expand and develop the Fertility service at Good Hope Hospital, which also encompasses early pregnancy assessment.
Throughout Diana’s nursing career, she has continually kept her professional development up to date. She obtained a BSc in Women’s Health Studies in 2002 from the University of Central England and then went on to obtain an MSc, with distinction, in Advanced Practice Nursing in 2006. Following this she gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Ultrasound from Derby University; this has provided the essential knowledge base for performing and interpreting early pregnancy and gynaecological ultrasound scans. She completed a Non-Medical prescribing course at Birmingham City University and has completed advanced training in volume and 3D / 4D pregnancy and gynaecology scanning.
She has a current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a Registered General Nurse and Nurse Prescriber and is registered with The Society and College of Radiographers.

Jane Rees
Specialist Nurse Sonographer.
Jane gained her BSc honours degree in nursing in 2003. It was in her final year of university that she knew women’s health would be her area of passion and she secured her first registered nursing post on the gynaecology ward at Good Hope Hospital. In 2008 Jane began working alongside Jacqui Rutter in the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit and Emergency Gynaecology Unit, developing skills in early pregnancy and emergency gynaecological care. In 2014 Jane became a Clinical Nurse Specialist and gained a post graduate focused certificate in early pregnancy ultrasound. During this time, she also gained experience in fertility nursing from Diana Ham.
Jane has always enjoyed training and development and has participated in the training of many junior doctors and clinical nurse specialists who now work in the GAU’s at both Good Hope Hospital and Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. In 2021 after seeking new challenges Jane was successful in securing the Ward Managers post of the Gynaecology Ward at Good Hope Hospital gaining valuable skills in Clinical Governance and team leadership. However, her passion remained within the clinical setting where she could deliver high quality patient centred care and she returned to her previous role as an CNS for Emergency Gynaecology.
In June 2022 Jane joined the team at Cherish-UK working alongside Jacqui and Diana where she has acquired more skills and clinical knowledge from her original mentors. She continues to seek new challenges and ways to develop her professional skills and knowledge and in July 2023 commenced a CNS post at Birmingham Women’s Hospital where she continues to practice in the NHS aiding research and development into early pregnancy loss as well as looking at ways to expand and improve the emergency gynaecology services there.
