Grant Mccullough​

RN, MN, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Midcentral Acute Pain Management Service, NZ

I have been a Clinical Nurse Specialist specialising in acute pain management based in Palmerston North for the last 23 years. Or team plays a pivotal role in optimising patient outcomes through evidence-based pain assessment and intervention strategies. My strong clinical background and advanced nursing practice, allow me to collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure safe, effective, and compassionate care for patients experiencing complex pain conditions. I am passionate about education and clinical leadership, providing guidance to nursing staff and contributing to the development of best-practice. Over the last 14 years I have been involved in starting and running a faith based residential rehabilitation centre run by “outer city mission trust” our charity provides short-medium term supervised accommodation and holistic support for individuals wanting help in their recovery from addictions, self-harm, and other dysfunctional coping behaviours. This work has given me a unique perspective on some of the challenges facing our society, both now and in the near future.
