About the webinar
Helen Butler
Associate Head of Mental Health and Addiction in the School of Nursing at the University of Auckland
Helen Butler is the Associate Head of Mental Health and Addiction in the School of Nursing at the University of Auckland. She worked as a Registered Nurse for over 25 years and mostly specialised within mental health and specialist palliative care (in NZ and Australia). She is passionate about the issues of equitable healthcare for people with a diagnosis of mental illness and identified in her research that gaping inequities exist. These inequities not only arise from the systems that health professionals work under; it is also the values, attitudes and behaviours from health professionals themselves that impact on the care (or lack of care) that people with a diagnosis of mental illness receive. She is working towards her PhD and exploring more deeply around the inequities of palliative care for people with a diagnosis of mental illness.
Her topic will include:
• Explore the relationship between and inequities of physical illness for people with a diagnosis of mental illness
• Explore the issues around access and utilisation of palliative care for people with a diagnosis of mental illness
• Discuss my PhD research which focuses on palliative care for people with a diagnosis of mental illness
