During her career as a Health Visitor, Caroline has a particular interest in women’s mental health during the peri-natal period as well as the neuro development of babies in the womb and beyond. Caroline also interested in perpetrators of domestic abuse and their characteristic profiles and how this is linked to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s).
Caroline’s teaching has been practice based in the community. For the past ten years she has trained post graduate nurses and midwives to become either Health Visitors or School Nurses (Specialist Community Public Health Nurses).
For the past five years Caroline has also taught and supported staff in my organisation and pre-registration nurses (mostly child and mental health branch) whilst on placement in the community. This has been both face to face and virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
