Karen Harrison Harrison Dening

Dr Karen Harrison Dening is Head of Research and Publications at Dementia UK, home of Admiral Nursing. She has years of expertise in palliative and end-of-life care, advance care planning and case management in dementia. Her previous books with Jessica Kingsley Publishers are Evidence-Based Practice in Dementia for Nurses and Nursing Students, and Dementia, Culture and Ethnicity: Issues for All.

Dr Hilda Hayo became Chief Admiral Nurse and CEO for Dementia UK in 2013. As a dual registered nurse, she has held senior positions in clinical services, hospital management and higher education.

Christine Reddall has worked in many different settings. As a former community Macmillan Nurse, realising that people with dementia and those with learning disabilities rarely accessed good palliative and end-of-life care, she concentrated her efforts in enabling this. Christine has used her experience gained from both professional and personal perspective to help promote awareness of young dementias.
