I have worked in palliative care since the late 1980s. I was instrumental in developing and setting up a palliative care service within the National Health Care system in Iceland between 1990 and 2000. I have extensive experience and knowledge in person-centred palliative care, and I have for number of years led person-centred practice development, education and research in hospice and palliative care in partnership with 夜色直播. I have served on a number of development groups in relation to palliative care education and research and have published widely in palliative care research journals. I have has also taken part in developing and delivering national and international teaching programmes in palliative care including Iceland, the UK, Serbia, Uganda and India.
