ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Kate has had a long-term interest in healthcare. She started her working journey as a registered nurse 30 years ago. A diverse range of professional roles include sales and strategic marketing, publishing and business development in the health and medical and aged care sectors. An early exposure to health stimulated her interest (and frustration) in wanting to better support consumers and facilitate empowerment to get more from our healthcare system and enjoy a relationship based on equality with practitioners.
Having a background in business, marketing and communications in the publishing and health industries was an asset in putting together the collaboration and taking an evidence-based approach to the development of the book.
Kate’s professional path has also included the development of major websites that seek to engage and educate healthcare professionals and consumers to more efficiently and effectively engage with the health system.
