Mrs Kristina Walsh

Associate Lecturer (Teaching Specialist (Clin))

College of Nursing and Health Sciences

place Bedford Park

As a Registered Nurse my interest in community nursing, particularly palliative care at home drives my connection with community. My recent clinic experience includes caring for people with life limiting illness in their own homes towards the end of life. Within my practice I have developed a keen interest in the use of technology with patients and families in the community setting and in sharing my knowledge and skills with others. Compassion and community connection are what drives my work within the community.
