Madeline Bass, RGN,
BSc (Hons), MIFA
Maddy qualified as a nurse in 1992 and since then has worked
in many different settings. Over the previous 9 years she
has worked in oncology and palliative care, and presently
works as a palliative care nurse specialist in an acute hospital
in the UK.
She qualified in massage and aromatherapy in 2004 and has
joined the International Federation of Aromatherapy, and
Embody.
She is also training in therapeutic touch and hopes to qualify
in 2006.
Using the ‘m’ technique has been really helpful
in agitated, dying patients, and is something which can easily
be taught to ward nurses and the families and carers of palliative
patients. Maddy was one of the first UK therapists
to qualify in teaching this technique. She lives in Ipswich
and is keen to spread the word in Suffolk.
