    Hi I'm Emma, 


    I qualified with a first class Hons Degree in Mental Health Nursing in 2010. Since then, I have worked within several service areas across Cardiff and Vale, Mental Health Services for Older people in both acute hospital and community settings.

    I am passionate in sharing a person centred, strength based approach in dementia care and through this I have become a Positive Approach to Care (PAC) independently certified trainer, coach and consultant. 
    I am currently completing my PGCE in Health Education and hope to go on to further my education specifically in advanced dementia care and support. 

    I am a Dementia friends and John's Campaign ambassador

    My areas of interest are:
    Co-production / partnership working
    Project management
