She is happily married for over forty years, with four grown children who live nearby.
Her nursing qualifications and experience include general nursing training; training with vulnerable adults; courses in abuse, health, and safety; moving and handling; challenging behaviour and pain; COSHE; and Training for Trainers, an Alzheimer’s course whereby she has been trained to train all staff in the understanding and caring for Alzheimer’s patients. She has an Alzheimer’s University module in dementia care.
She believes that this training plus her on-the-floor experience qualifies her to complete this book.
Like Florence Nightingale, she feels nursing hands-on is still the best means of caring for and knowing people’s needs.visualizza meno
