Natalie Brown

Natalie Brown

Natalie works as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in the NHS as well as being involved in education. She has personal experience with ICP in her pregnancy with her son, and found the ICP Support resources and Facebook group vital in being able to advocate for herself.

Katy Crabbe

Katy Crabbe

Katy is a manager in the NHS and her background is as a midwife. She has had personal experience of ICP with both her children, giving birth at 37 and 38 weeks after induction of labour. With her knowledge of midwifery Katy is very aware that lots of obstetricians and midwives still don’t have the most up-to-date information and research into ICP. Katy is our Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Peter Dixon

Peter is a post-doctoral research scientist who specializes in genetic and metabolomic studies. He has spent a considerable part of his career unravelling the maternal genetic component of ICP susceptibility as part of the Imperial College research team.

Jenny Hastings

Jenny Hastings

In December 2012 I was diagnosed with ICP at 34 weeks. It was my first pregnancy, and to say I was worried was an understatement. I had never heard of ICP and the hospital seemed to know very little. I went home on the Friday night with so many questions. I came across ICP Support and phoned them. The advice, support and help I received was invaluable, reassuring and so friendly. I was induced at 38 weeks and delivered a healthy baby boy. I would have been lost without the support of the group and their research. Volunteering for the group is a small way of me saying thank you.

Charlie Manchester

Charlie Manchester

Charlie came to London to qualify as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, working in External Audit at small and medium accountancy practices. After qualifying, he was interested in applying the skills gained in Audit & Finance within a more charitable setting. He had an interest in supporting educational and children’s charities and as a result, applied to ICP Support. He joined as a Trustee in April 2023.

Helen Owen

Helen Owen

Helen has two little itches, both currently in primary school and full of energy. It was not until after she had her daughter in 2015 that Helen really learned what ICP is and she then went on to find ICP Support before having her son in 2017. Since this time Helen has been a keen advocate of ICP Support, even working for the charity for a year before becoming a trustee in 2023.

Tracey Smith

Tracey Smith

Tracey had two ICP pregnancies in 1996 and 1998. On both occasions the itching started between 6 and 8 weeks - very early! She was fortunate that her mother read an article about Jenny Chambers during her first pregnancy and was able to enlist her help in diagnosing the condition and seeking the help that she needed. Both daughters were born at 35 weeks and are now healthy teenagers: proof that ICP pregnancies can have positive outcomes.

Katie Symons

Katie Symons

I have been a moderator since October 2022 and joined as a Trustee in November 2023. I live in Nottingham and work as a solicitor. I’m a mummy to two little itches, aged four and two. I had ICP in both my pregnancies (severely with the second) and found the ICP Support resources and support invaluable in helping to make difficult decisions. ICP Support does such a brilliant and important job and I want help ensure that we continue to be around to support as many people as possible.
