Laura also has the role of Caldicott Guardian for the hospice, ensuring patient information is dealt with in a sensitive manner in accordance with national legislation, and she chairs the information governance group of the hospice strategy.

With a wealth of clinical knowledge as well as years of experience dealing with the palliative care needs of patients and families, Laura has particular interest in the ethics of palliative care.

She has an MA in the ethics of cancer and palliative care, and also in the area of prognostication in palliative care populations.

Laura had been trained in delivering advanced communication skills training and is looking forward to using this knowledge to provide training to healthcare professionals involved in providing palliative care.

She is driven by the knowledge that there is only chance to get it right for patients at the end of life and is determined to ensure that all patients who need specialist palliative care at the end of life receive it.

As my career progressed, one thing that has always remained, is that patients and their loved ones will be at the heart of everything. Alongside this is valuing all staff teams who contribute to the delivery of high standards of quality care. 

In 2019, I received an Award of Merit from the Royal College of Nursing. I also became a Queen's Nurse, after completing a nine-month intense development programme, a life changing experience!

In 2021, I received an award from Scottish Care in recognition of my Management and Leadership skills.

I am particularly proud, after four years of part-time study, I completed my MSc in Healthcare Management in 2025. I was working full time and often studying into the wee hours!
