Online Tutor, MSc in Dementia
Catherine is a Registered Nurse and for most of her career has worked with people at the end-of-life in a hospice setting. Catherine’s interest in dementia developed whilst at the hospice.
For the past 12 years, she has also worked as a nurse consultant with a charity supporting people with brain injury. In this role, she has been responsible for setting up services for people with dementia in both the care home and community settings. In addition, Catherine has given regular lectures in dementia at Hull York Medical School.
Catherine is a graduate of the online MSc Dementia and loved every second of the course. She notes that the course has provided her with opportunities she never believed were possible.
Catherine is currently completing her PhD which considers how to hold end of life conversations with people living with dementia by utilising the death café approach.
Catherine possesses a real passion for supporting those who live with dementia as they approach the end of their life, and her mantra is ‘We only have one chance to get it right.’
