Apply
I joined the Faculty of Health and Social Science in 2002 as a Practice Educator.
This was a good introduction into Higher Education and after three years in the role I was successful in applying to become a Senior Lecturer.
In April 2008 I was appointed as Deputy Director of Placements, a role in which I can draw on my experience at a Practice Educator and Senior Lecturer.
In my academic role I mainly work with Pre-Registration students as part of the year three team.
I also teach across the course and I am co-course lead for the Post Registration Surgical modules. Part of my role is to lead on the development of the numeracy strategy
I qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1986 having trained at University College Hospital. Subsequent to this I attained my Diploma in Professional Practice and BA Hons in Healthcare (both with University of Luton).
Since working with the University I have successfully completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education and I am currently studying towards my Masters in Healthcare Studies.
Although I have worked with both surgical and medical patients, my focus has been surgery and this is my main area of interest.
My last clinical post was as a Ward Manager of a general surgical unit and I worked bank shifts in A&E up until Oct 2005.
I enjoy teaching and have a passion for nursing which I aim to pass onto my students.
As part of my role is taking the students in their last months of the course, I believe I am fortunate in being able to be with them at the end of their journey and share in their sense of achievement.
I enjoy walking my dogs, line dancing, travelling and spending time with my family.
I am currently working in two areas looking at medication tools for practice and service improvement projects.
