“Gerontology nursing, for too long, has been undervalued by nurses themselves.  I work in a sector where I have independence, where my professional opinion is actively sought and listened to.  I make a difference to residents’ lives every day! My professional development within this sector has been, to date, a Higher Diploma in Gerontology and I am qualified as a Registered Nurse Prescriber.  It’s a great sector to work in,”
