Ms Kay Townsend

I have spent much of my nursing career working in cancer care, and learnt to be a good generalist in palliative and end of life care whilst working in this field.

I’m inspired by the words of Nelson Mandela - "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" – and nurse education is the weapon we can use to ensure high quality, compassionate patient care.

I have led programmes and modules related to cancer, palliative and end of life care, including the MSc Clinical Leadership in Cancer, Palliative and End of Life care, pre and post registration modules. I am currently the Programme Lead for preregistration BSc Nursing programmes.
