Julia Foley

Dementia Advisor

About me

Having a nursing background spanning 45years has been a wonderful career and vocation. I have had a varied career from General nursing to Midwifery, Macmillan and Community nursing, which confirmed how privileged I am to have met people in all phases of their lives.

During the Pandemic, I switched my career path to become Vaccinator & Clinical Lead for COVID-19 Vaccination services. Moving forward to 2024 I was provided with an opportunity to embrace a new challenge and gain new skills in the role as a Dementia Advisor.

What I love about my job

I enjoy working within a supportive motivational team at Dementia Jersey to raise awareness of Dementia in the community and to improve the lives of people affected by Dementia. My personal experience of how Dementia affects the person and their family inspires me to make a difference and support the people I meet.
I am passionate about new learning and the importance of living well with Dementia and finding the joyful moments in every day.

Did you know

I have a love of the outdoors: walking, sea swimming and gardening. My friends and family are my joie de vivre as are French holidays and learning the language.
