I qualified as a Registered Nurse in 1998 and I have worked in Specialist Palliative Care since 2001. Knowing early on in my career that I have a passion for care at the end of life, ensuring the importance of this time was recognised, valued, and prioritised. I have worked in specialist palliative care in both the community and hospice settings in clinical, management and leadership roles. I joined St. Michael’s Hospice as the Clinical Director in September 2023 and I am also the CQC Registered Manager.
