Join me for this episode where I sit down with Julie Sharrock and learn about her experience as a Consultation Liaison Clinical Nurse Consultant. Julie began nursing in 1977, commencing as a general and then intensive care nurse. Since 1987 her focus has been on mental health nursing, with experience in both general and specialist mental health. In 1997 she developed the Mental Health Nurse Consultant role in a Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry team and has a passion for improving the mental health care of general hospital patients. Julie enrolled in her PhD in 2020and her research focuses on the contribution of mental health nurses within Consultation Liaison Psychiatry on patient care and outcomes of general hospital patients who experience mental health conditions. During her career, she has spent 38 years in clinical practice. Since 2017 she has been self-employed as a Mental Health Nurse Consultant, Clinical Supervisor and Educator.
