We are ready to take your call!
Founded by Jane Eastwood, Queen’s Nurse, Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Independent Prescriber, Diabetes Nurse Specialist and women’s health clinician, the Collective was created from a simple belief: when people understand their health, they feel stronger, more confident, and better able to thrive in their families, workplaces, and communities.
Jane brings over 24 years of nursing experience across primary care, diabetes, and advanced clinical practice. She is currently training as a British Menopause Society (BMS) Specialist, further strengthening the Collective’s commitment to high-quality, evidence-based menopause and midlife care. Her work is grounded in NICE guidance, preventative health principles, and a deep passion for reducing health inequalities through education and early intervention.
Working alongside Jane is Dr Saira Bano, an accredited, highly experienced GP, GP Trainer, and Obesity Specialist. Dr Bano brings extensive expertise in complex primary care, lifestyle medicine, and weight management, alongside a strong commitment to mentoring the next generation of clinicians. Together, Jane and Dr Bano combine clinical credibility with a shared vision for accessible, community-based wellbeing support.
Rather than expecting individuals to navigate complex systems alone, we take trusted, evidence-based health education into community spaces — workplaces, cafés, community centres, and local organisations — creating safe, welcoming environments where open conversations can take place without stigma.
We specialise in women’s health, menopause education, diabetes awareness, healthy weight support, lifestyle wellbeing, and preventative community programmes. However, we also recognise that health is influenced by confidence, social connection, physical activity, and belonging. By addressing wellbeing holistically, we support not just individuals, but the wider community ecosystem.
Through workshops, group programmes, workplace training, and collaborative initiatives, Empower-Wellbeing Collective CIC aims to:
Our programmes are practical, compassionate, and grounded in real-world primary care experience. We bridge the gap between clinical guidance and everyday life, helping people translate knowledge into action.
At our core, we believe wellbeing is not a luxury — it is foundational. When people feel informed, supported, and connected, they are more likely to engage with their health, remain in employment, support their families, and contribute positively to it is foundational.
