Doreen Norton, who died on December 30th, 2007, was a true pioneer in nursing for the Elderly.
It is she, who effectively changed nursing practice and eliminated 'bedsores' from the wards.
Concentrating on moving patients rather than washing them, she noted the condition did not occur.
Doreen, was also responsible for designing the Kings Fund bed, the adjustable bed used in all hospital wards.
She became a Social Worker and also wrote books on Geriatric care.
In 1982, she retired but continued to advocate change through Speeches and Talks all over the World.
Bless you, Doreen.
