Fiona Firth

Biography

I started my nurse training in 1998 in the north east of England. Since this time, I've worked across various settings in both mental health and learning disabilities. I have primarily been community based, with clients of all ages, but specialising in young people.  My particular interests include, mental health, positive behaviour support and neurodevelopmental issues.

I have a personal interest in the social history of learning disaiblities and have a novel published depicting the ethos of care and impact institutionalisation throughout the last century.
