Bayer's Kirstyn Nicholas joins Spirit Healthcare

Leicestershire, UK, based Spirit Healthcare has named Kirstyn Nicholas as regional business director.

Nicholas joins from Bayer, where she was principal territory manager for almost ten years.

The role included working with CCG leads, consultants and clinical scientists and prior to that she worked as healthcare development manager at Bayer HealthCare.

Commenting on her appointment, Nicholas said: “I am thrilled to be working for such a refreshingly innovative company that provides a range of high quality products and solution as well as the internal knowledge, passion and commitment to improve patient lives.”

Nicholas has previously specialised in the provision of medical devices designed to help manage screening, symptoms and treatment.

Chris Barker, chief executive of Spirit Healthcare, added: “Kirstyn has only been with the company a few weeks and has already made a significant contribution. It is great to have such talent on the team as we continue to expand.”

The expansion follows the successful launch of EMPOWER Structured Diabetes Education and the introduction of TEE2 to its diabetes portfolio.
