Tackling the divide between health and social care
The National Pensioners Education and Welfare Centre is proud to announce that PROFESSOR DAME JUNE CLARK will give the annual JACK JONES LECTURE
Professor Dame June Clark was a member of the Royal Commission on Long Term Care, which reported in 1999, and she has remained a passionate advocate for its recommendation that all care (personal and nursing) needed by older people (based on proper assessment) should be funded from general taxation and free at the point of use.
June (as she likes to be known) trained as a nurse and then as a health visitor in the 1960s. She worked in the NHS for 25 years before developing a Department of Nursing at Middlesex University from 1990 and returning home to Wales in 1997 when she became Swansea University’s first professor of nursing.
Throughout her career June has been heavily involved with the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) including as President 1990-1994. She acted as consultant to the World Health Organisation and the International Council of nursing.
The National Pensioners Convention (NPC) is proud to have June as a delegate representing RCN retired members on its leading committees.
