Julie
Attenborough
deactivated
In memory of our much loved colleague of 26 years, Professor Julie Attenborough (Professor of Nursing at City, University of London).
After working in community mental health services specialising in substance use problems and homelessness, Julie joined City, University of London in 1997. Julie was not only a truly exceptional member of our team but also a valued friend to many. A registered mental health nurse, her knowledge, dedication, warmth, and humour have had a profound impact on countless lives, and her absence reverberates across our University and the wider healthcare education community.
Julie successfully completed her Professional Doctorate with a thesis titled ‘Nursing on the Edge – nursing identity in liminal spaces’. Julie’s passionate advocacy of the Nursing profession, and of the role and experience of healthcare students, was at the heart of everything she did. She had a strong national reputation for pedagogical research and the evaluation of educational interventions to promote work-based learning and supervision in clinical practice.
Her extensive contributions to the healthcare education landscape, and the indelible mark she has left on all those who knew and loved her, will be her lasting legacy. We will miss Julie so very much; our thoughts are with her husband Steve and her children, Matt, Ed and Phoebe at this incredibly sad and difficult time.
