Ms Lesley Butcher
Uwch Ddarlithydd: Nyrsio Oedolion
Trosolwyg
I have been qualified as a Registered Nurse (Adult and Mental Health) for approximately 24 years. I have worked in various roles including Advanced Practice as a Nurse Practitioner and Non-Medical Prescriber. I have experience and expertise in working with older people in Community settings. I have worked as a Lecturer in Nursing at Cardiff University since 2015.
I have a special interest in working with people who are living with Dementia. I am passionate about promoting dignity, emotional care and understanding the lived experience. I have a Masters' degree in Psychotherapy and have a psychodynamic focus to my clinical work. I seek to convey the importance of empathy during my lectures and via experiential teaching methods.
I am planning to commence my PhD in Dementia Care, using a phenomenological approach to exploring the attitudes and beliefs of staff in relation to working with people whose behavior is perceived as 'challenging'. I continue to work in Nursing Homes for people with dementia in my spare time.
I work with undergraduate student nurses as well as Postgraduate and Masters' level students in Nursing and other disciplines.
I am the Communications Champion for the School of Healthcare Sciences. I am also an Editorial Board member for 'Signpost'; a journal specialising in Older People's Mental Health. I regularly peer-review articles for acceptance in a variety of British nursing journals.
