Over a 20 year nursing career, Denise has worked in a number of specialities including cardiology, stroke and gerontology. As an IMNO representative for Connolly Hospital, she is passionate about staff welfare and continuously advocates for the wider nursing profession. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Denise was tasked with restructuring the older person service to provide quality care to older adults diagnosed with virus. Throughout this tremendously difficult time, Denise and her nursing team faced incredibly challenges when communicating with patients and their loved ones. The Covid-19 pandemic was a steep learning curve for healthcare staff across the world, but perhaps particularly so for nurses working with older patients in such exceptional times.
