Biography
Harjinder Kaur is a Community Psychiatric Nurse for Wolverhampton City. In 2001, she was appointed as the Asian Link nurse with a specialist role to increase contact between specialist old age psychiatry services and older people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. She has played an important role in disseminating information about dementia and related conditions and in educating the South Asian community and professionals on the help available. Since her appointment, she has made remarkable efforts to ensure that the BAME communities residing in Wolverhampton have fair access to services and has consequently increased the diagnosis rates of dementia within these often hidden and marginalised communities.
