Kareen Dunlop
Integrative Nurse Educator
Health Professional Education
I am an excellent facilitator with an ability to quickly assess the needs of a project and initiate change. I love being at the cutting edge of quality healthcare. As a passionate nurse educator, I take great pride in developing programmes that are both innovative and practical whilst being cost effective and easy to implement. I look for simple yet effective ways to impart knowledge that in return influences behaviour. As a nurse educator, I have experience in teaching a variety of subjects including infection control, operating theatre, preceptorship, first aid and annual mandatory competencies (scroll down for more topics). Courses are tailored upon request and can be adapted to suit your needs including face-to-face or online.
