Kathryn developed the Advanced Diploma of Nursing course which trains qualified nurses to work in the specialised areas of theatre (peri-operative) and maternity. She is currently working with aged care establishments in Perth to introduce a project allowing students in the areas of health, beauty and fitness to offer free services to aged care residents and staff, under the guidance of experienced lecturing staff.
