Autorenporträt

Born in Louth, Lincolnshire Danny Walsh trained as a mental health nurse in 1982/5. After working in acute mental health for several years he soon developed a passion for working with older adults with mental health problems and their carers. This interest grew alongside an increasing awareness of the needs of this group and the lack of resources the group attracted when compared to services for younger adults. Danny developed a particular interest in the use of activity and groupwork and was soon running groups and activity sessions on a regular basis. He was then lucky enough to run a day hospital for several years during which many of these group work skills and activities were tried and tested. Moving into nurse education in 1997 was a big departure but one which enabled him to have an influence over older adults nursing practice via curriculum development and specialising in older adults mental health to a deeper level. He works closely with many dementia care nursing homes and NHS facilities in supporting practice and students on placement. Working with both functionally ill and cognitively impaired older people has been and continues to be a real priviledge for Danny.
