Linda Craig | Northern Ireland Public Health Agency, Regional Patient Client Experience Lead
My name is Linda Craig and I live in Northern Ireland; I am first and foremost a mum of 2 (Mollie & Charlie), wife to Gary and proud owner of 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 rabbit and 2 fish. Most of my career has been spent in Emergency Nursing, however in 2018 I was delighted to undertake the role of Regional Patient Client Experience Lead for Northern Ireland (in Public Health Agency). As part of this role I have had the privilege of rolling out Care Opinion across our Health and Social Care system.
As a nurse I have achieved my qualification as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner and also my Masters in Advancing Health Care and PGCE (teaching qualification) in Nursing. Behind the nursing uniform I am also a keen artist and my greatest ambition in life is to have my own exhibition in a local gallery titled ‘…Adventure Awaits…’ I am delighted to be in attendance at the Care Opinion Online Forum with Australia to sharing our learning.
