I am is currently a Director of Education and Research St Columba’s Hospice and a Senior Lecturer Queen Margaret University. My palliative care nursing practice started in Iceland and I was instrumental in developing palliative care services at the National Hospital in Iceland. After immigrating to Scotland I finished my Masters and PhD degree in palliative care nursing at the University of Edinburgh. I have led education in hospices over the last 12 years, and more recently research, first at Strathcarron Hospice and now at St Columba’s Hospice. I have also taken part in developing and delivering national and international teaching programmes in palliative care.
My key research interests are related to Palliative Care, Practice Development and Person Centred Care. I have been leading the development of research active hospice for the last 5 years and have a strategic role in developing further research activities within St Columba’s Hospice and Palliative Care research within Queen Margaret University.
