Ellen Selvey

I am an experienced nurse who has worked in a variety of roles in both hospitals and the community. This has given me a strong understanding of the needs of adults and young people with disabilities, which I am able to draw on to complete thorough client assessments, make informed recommendations, and implement these effectively in my role as a case manager.

My many years of nursing experience in ICU caring for critically ill patients has  also enabled me to be very aware of the trauma clients and their families experience when involved in a catastrophic event. I know the importance of both supporting clients and families as they adjust to life-changing injuries.

I have been complimented on my empathetic and sensitive approach and always aim to treat all my clients as I would wish members of my own family to be treated should they be in a similar situation.
