Charlotte Haynes

Retired General Nurse

Charlotte is a recently retired registered general nurse. She has spent the majority of her career in the private sector managing a very successful care home for older adults with dementia. She was one of the first nurse managers in North Warwickshire to gain a diploma in dementia studies and apply the person centred care approach to her work place in 2004, long before this became common practice nationally. Her interests have always been in counselling and providing emotional support for her clients and relatives. She also recognised that these principles, when applied to her staff helped reduce stress in the workplace which in return lead to a happier and healthier staff group. Reducing stress and anxiety is something that she is very passionate about.
