About Me
I have spent the past ten years working in palliative and end of life care, initially in a hospice and for the past six years in community settings with Helping Hands Care. This is work I chose deliberately, and it is where I believe I make the greatest difference.
I am trained in the Gold Standards Framework and have worked closely with district nursing teams and hospice at home services. I understand what families need during the final stages of a relative’s life — and I know how to be present in a way that is genuinely supportive rather than clinical.
I am available for part-time community palliative care work in the London area.
