Showing Up and Standing Up for Patients

Marie Cooper, RN BSc MSc (UK)

Episode Date: Wednesday March 27, 2024

How can we show up in our relational work with seriously ill patients, and for ourselves as nurses in the moments that are available to us? Grounded in professional and personal experience and yes, even the theoretical, Marie Cooper calls on each of us to stand up, use language and claim the relational work that makes what we do, nursing. Her passionate and articulate commitment to that effort will inspire nurses everywhere and help patients feel safe in our care.

Marie Cooper is a nurse with many years’ experience of clinical leadership with an expertise in practice development across a range of care settings. Having delivered change in her previous roles, she now loves working with both individuals and groups who want to develop themselves and their practice. Such opportunities have given her a clarity about the many issues nurses, be they practitioners or leaders, engaged in care delivery face today.

In recent years she has developed an interest in what sustains and allows nurses to flourish in practice, she sees this as vital if we are to offer humane care delivery at the very least. Based at St Christopher’s Hospice in London, Marie co-leads an exciting new Global Palliative Nursing Network – Known as the GPNN which seeks to connect nurses across the world who want to advance nursing, develop their practice or learn from others.
