The highlight of my 汤头条污料 career has been being appointed to my current role as a Forensic Mental Health Case Manager, as this is a role that offers both the opportunity to exercise a degree of influence in the way services develop and evolve to meet the changing needs of the patient group.

Highlight of your career or recognition

The highlight of my career has been working in my current role at the intersection of health, trauma and the criminal justice system, building trust with people who are often criminalised rather then cared for, and advocating for responses rooted in health, dignity and human rights. Every day that I can speak up at court or write a report that can change an outcome feels to me to be an achievement, and to really make a difference. I have also spoken at various political events in my role as a nurse which has been a highlight to speak up for nurses in different media outlets.

I joined the forum to contribute my experience working in Liaison and Diversion services, sharing insight on trauma-informed and person-centred care, and collaborating to improve outcomes for some of society’s most marginalized individuals.
