Kirsten Malcolm

Practice Development Nurse, CAMHS, Scotland

As a passionate Learning Disability Nurse working in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, I am incredibly grateful (and a little stunned!) to have been awarded the Learning Disability Nursing Scholarship.
It is an honour to have this opportunity to engage with inspiring nurse leaders from across the UK. This experience will support my development, enabling me to continue empowering and advocating for the individuals and families I have had the privilege of working alongside. It will also allow me to further support and guide my colleagues in meeting the needs of the children and young people who use our service, promoting a culture of person-centred care.
