Michele Jogee, Registered Nurse (RN) - Registered Manager, London HQ

Michele has been with Health Professionals for over 5 years managing the London recruitment team, while coordinating homecare services in and around the capital.

Her clinical heritage includes many years working as a specialist nurse in London NHS and private hospitals; within the community, as a district nurse, and as a lead manager creating and maintaining an award-winning assisted living facility.

Significantly, last year, Michele helped Health Professionals to achieve an outstanding 18 commendations out of a possible 18 CSCI Standards - or in simple terms, 100% compliance. We're privileged to have her on our team.
Michele says: “Working in the Healthcare Industry always has been, and always will be challenging. We can’t change the wind but we can adjust the sails. Patients today need the same care as they always did, but as specialist nurses we’re constantly required to dispense our care with reduced resources and less time. At Health Professionals we keep pace with the ever-changing employment laws and legislation and how it affects our industry, so that our clients and candidates can focus on providing excellent patient care.”

Michele manages the specialist nursing recruitment and support teams in London.

Hugo Lyons, Registered Nurse (RN) - MD

Qualifying as a Registered Nurse in 1992, Hugo worked at University College Hospital in Central London before setting up Health Professionals in 1996 in response to the recruitment crisis then gripping the National Health Service (NHS).

It was while working at an inner city unit, that Hugo noticed an over reliance on agency nurses and realised the value of recruiting from countries like America, Canada, New Zealand and Australia as a way of finding permanent specialist nurses for the NHS.  Subsequently, Health Professionals accompanied certain NHS hospitals on a global mission to successfully recruit experienced staff for London NHS single-specialty hospitals such as Moorfields Eye Hospital and The Royal Brompton Hospital (Cardiothoracic.)

Hugo also holds a Law degree and today, oversees overall operations and manages the company’s IT infrastructure and website portals.  Hugo says: “We simply strive to bring the highest skilled people to our world-class clients. Today, in healthcare, the sheer variety and uniqueness of the opportunities available makes our mission incredibly interesting and worthwhile – for us, our clients and our candidates.”
