Robyn - Oncology and Haematology Nurse
Oncology and Haematology Nurse, mother to young William and Dominique's youngest sister, Robyn lives just up the road from the Westmorland workshop in the bustling Yorkshire market town of Otley.

Robyn worked her way up from pharmacy assistant in her local family-run pharmacy as a teenager, through training as a hospital pharmacy technician and eventually embarking on a nursing degree. Since qualifying Robyn has specialised in Oncology and Haematology and is now a Sister (in two senses).
Her place of work is a state of the art clinical unit that provides day-case cancer treatments including chemotherapy, alongside supportive care and complementary therapies to deliver a truly holistic and therapeutic service.
They provide fully integrated chemotherapy and supportive care treatments for a range of adult cancers. New and follow-up oncology outpatient clinics are held at the centre, as well as haematology outpatient and day-case services. They also offer a hair loss support service and work hand in hand with Macmillan to offer other complimentary services such as welfare and benefits advice.
The centre is a truly supportive and peaceful environment, full of knowledge and care that is the best possible environment for patients undertaking treatment there. Meanwhile, the staff are always on their feet enabling this to happen every day. Thanks to all - you know who you are.
We all know that nurses across the country work long shifts, have to have a clear and certain disposition towards those who need care and are always on their feet. We also know that Robyn does all of this with a smile. Consistently. It's her signature and she's now managing motherhood with that same beaming smile on her face. She has a very proud family.
Did you know... Robyn was a big part of the launch of the Westmorland Sheepskins website, very ably helping to write and populate most of the website with content as Tim and Dominique juggled other jobs at the time. You still find her helping out when she can today, that's what family businesses do.
Sisters, Dominique, Suzan and Robyn all wear Margot slippers funnily enough. New to the fold, full of character and comfort, they are aptly named after Suzan's youngest daughter (and Sophia's sister) Margot. You may recognise Sophia above as she has modelled for us since she was four years old.
An all around good egg with a huge smile for all including, or maybe especially, her patients. She is currently doing a sterling job raising young Will who also makes an appearance in some images (although he frequently distracts everyone at Westmorland HQ so may get the sack soon)
