Carol has comprehensive experience in nursing as well as emergency care. Carol was a charge nurse (with a focus on older persons), a surgical staff nurse and a trauma nurse at St Augustine’s Trauma Unit in KwaZulu Natal.
Carol is also a trained paramedic and was with the Rapid Response Team also based in KZN in the height of the unrest in the mid to late eighties.
She then moved focus and was a team manager providing primary complex care services to clients in their own homes. Carol has provided in house training to carers and permanent staff on the provision of complex care.
Carol oversees both facility and mobile services to clients accessing Triangle Project’s facilities. These include home based care, testing, screening, general wellbeing, health care advice and adherence monitoring, clinic visits with clients and relationship building with state facilities.
A fun fact about Carol is that she was awarded a medal for bravery when she was 24 for saving the lives of two fishermen in Wagondrift Dam in KZN.
