Karen Harrison Dening RMN, RNMH, RN, MA, PhD

Karen has over 40 years of experience in nursing, most of those being in dementia care in a variety of settings and contexts. For the past 13 years, she has worked with Dementia UK and is now the Head of Research and Publications. She came to the ‘research world’ late in her career. Appointed to a Consultant Nurse position the opportunity arose for a sponsored Ph.D. She thus gained her Ph.D. at University College London in 2014 focusing on advanced care planning and end-of-life care in dementia. She has several honorary academic positions at UK universities.
