Senior Lecturer in Pre-Reg Mental Health Nursing

Prior to joining the University Of Bedfordshire in June 2013, I worked at the forefront of mental health service delivery, with an Assertive Outreach Team.

As a qualified Mental Health Nurse for over 15 years, I have worked in a variety of settings within teams.

I have been a mentor and sign-off mentor to students for many years in various clinical settings and have had the privilege of working with students from other disciplines.

I have thus been involved in teaching and assessing in the clinical area to students at all levels of their training.

On a personal level, I am told that I posses a warm and friendly personality, always open to constructive criticism and I believe my firmest asset lies in my approachability and reliability.
