Dr Catherine Walshe has a clinical background in nursing, particularly community nursing, and has worked in a number of NHS posts in hospital and community palliative care in Cornwall, Brighton and Worcestershire. She then moved to an academic career, completing her PhD at the University of Manchester and working there for a number of years. Catherine is currently Reader in Palliative Care and Director of the International Observatory on End of Life Care at Lancaster University. Catherine’s research interests reflect this clinical background, and her studies frequently explore issues of primary palliative care, the organisation of palliative and end of life care services, and symptom control.
