Mrs Catherine Parker

It is a privilege to be involved with EOW and especially to work alongside Sadiyo Siad. I am committed to furthering EOW’s progress.

I am a freelance writer, trained proofreader and editor. I retired from general nursing in 2010 after a thirty-year nursing career. I enjoyed supporting, teaching and mentoring staff and colleagues, liaising with patients, their families and carers and practising and promoting high standards of care. Prior to my nursing career I was a local government officer in a Health and Housing Department; assisted in Family Planning services and ‘Well Woman’ clinics; ran a playgroup.
