Louise Turner – The healer and teacher

Salome Meyer, Cancer Advocate, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“There are many people in the space of cancer – whether it be a person with lived experience (PWLE) or a health care professional. Louise Turner is one of the very few that is not focussed on promoting herself – but to be that healer and teacher for many!

An astute leader with vision, understanding the principles of collaboration and collective action and a highly ethical work culture. An asset for Breast Health Foundation and Cancer Alliance (South Africa) and PWLE in South Africa. Leading the way with the Breast Assessment Tool as part of the APPIS Innovator Program 2024 winners.”
