‘I have a passion for caring for people at the end of their lives, in their own homes, and I now use my skills and knowledge to help other staff to gain confidence in caring for patients and their families. Delivering education to not only NHS staff but also care homes enables me to highlight and facilitate collaborative working, for the benefit of the patient. For me, this is what Wiltshire Health and Care is about.’
