Biography
A physiotherapist by background, I am currently working as Specialist Palliative Care Service Lead in the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, Northern Ireland. This role involves managing the Community Specialist Palliative Care Team as well as being the Palliative Care Service Improvement Lead.
From an early stage in my career, I have had a keen interest in palliative care, helping to support people with life limiting conditions achieve quality of life. My Fellowship will investigate new ways of working to look at enhancing the specialist palliative care provision within the Southern Health and Social Care Trust and across Northern Ireland during the out-of-hours period in all areas, including rural areas.
