My name is Irene and I am the Coloplast Continence Clinical Nurse Consultant for Queensland. My clinical experience is predominantly in Spinal Cord Injuries (acute and rehabilitation), but my passion throughout my 18 year career as a Registered Nurse, has always been about empowering people with disabilities to embrace and create new lives following catastrophic injury or illness.
Within my role at Coloplast, I provide specialist clinical education to Queensland Customers; their families, carers and health care professionals on optimal bowel and bladder management solutions. I have a current and evolving knowledge of funding streams available to individuals living with disability, and an appreciation of the challenges that can be faced when entering into; or transitioning from an existing funding scheme.
