About Me

My photo
Linda trained in Nursing in the 1970’s and, after working extensively in both Renal Medicine and Intensive Care, achieved the rank of Ward Sister in an Orthopaedic hospital. The ward specialised in the more complex spinal operations, such as lumbar and cervical osteotomies, and teaching formed an important part of her role. Patients came from as far afield as the Arab Emirates, so Culture and Diversity were a necessary part of Nurse Education. She has fifteen years experience in Community Care, writing one of the first Community Care Plans in Scotland. The last five of these years were as a Care Coordinator. In this role she developed a pilot project which delivered care and accommodation to a severely disabled and ventilated patient.
