Kate designed a training package in 2008 to help frontline health and social care staff detect and manage psychological distress in cancer patients and their family members, which has been adopted across the UK and is cited in National Peer Review Measures as a gold standard. More recently she has developed a Resilience Training Package for staff which has been running since 2016. The course has been shown to reduce symptoms of burnout in health care staff and reduce staff absenteeism. 

Her informal teaching style is highly regarded by participants. Brought to life with real examples from her work, Kate’s sessions bring a blend of humour and empathy to emotive topics, allowing space for reflection and discussion.  

Kate drew on the principles of this Resilience programme when supporting staff through the Novichok poisoning crisis in Salisbury in 2018 and used the lessons learned from this to inform staff wellbeing initiatives in response to the Covid pandemic. 

Kate is an experienced Keynote speaker offering one off motivational wellbeing speeches to large groups and personally tailored one to one resilience work or in depth courses with teams.
