Trish's story - a retired community nurse who has championed ageism and person centred care.

Real Nurse Stories

In this episode, I interview Trish who has just retired from nursing after 43 years working as a nurse in Manchester in the UK. It seemed very appropriate that this interview took place on International Nurses day 2020 as Trish trained at the very first NHS hospital, Park hospital in Trafford in 1973. Trish has had a really interesting nursing career but her heart truly was in community nursing. Trish has advocated passionately for older people and her trainee assistant practitioner students will know and love her for this. Trish has championed ageism and passionately promoted person-centred care for older people. Trish highlights the importance of life-long learning and gives lots of examples of this in her interview. Trish talks about the importance of mentorship, role modelling, reflective practice and team resilience and much more!
