Kathie Nickerson is a Clinical Nurse Specialist at Hunter Integrated Pain Service, working with a multidisciplinary team in the outpatient service. Her interests are assisting people to wean opioid medication, and partaking in coffee breaks with the HIPS team.

She is completing a Masters of Philosophy through the Nursing Faculty at UON, researching the benefit of nursing support for people weaning opioid medication, and if necessary to get results, plans to bribe participants with coffee. In her spare time she rides her horse and tries to keep up at park run.
