I am passionate about improving the care of older people in our health care system and in the community. I am particularly invested in people ‘taking the time’ to understand older people, their stories, their needs, and how they would like care to be delivered when required. I am inspired and moved by advocates of positive images of ageing such as Cathy Greenblat and others who promote truly person centred compassionate care.

As an Occupational Therapy, I’ve held roles working with DBMAS, CDAMS, Dementia Consultant TCP, and North West ACAS.
