Biography

Lindsay is a pediatric Nurse Practitioner who works at Alberta Children's Hospital in the Vi Riddell Pain and Rehabilitation Program. She has worked in pediatric nursing since 2001 as a Registered Nurse and began practicing as an NP in 2013. She currently runs a headache clinic for the pediatric population following the principals of chronic pain. This clinic is collaborative with both the Neurology department and the Complex Pain Department.

This role allows for long term follow up of patients and their families in a Family Centered Care context until their pain is well managed and daily functioning is maintained.
