About me
I joined UWE in 2013 as a Senior Lecturer in learning disabilities nursing. Since working at UWE, I have taught across all aspects of the pre-registration nursing curriculum, including co-module leading the undergraduate anatomy, physiology and pharmacology for nursing module, dissertation/Final Project modules, a public health module and practice modules specifically for learning disability nursing.
My primary research interests are the application of the Mental Capacity Act in healthcare practice, supporting healthcare decision-making with adults who have a learning disability and learning from service user narratives/experience.
I have recently completed a UWE-funded PhD, using accessible qualitative research methods to explore supporting healthcare decision-making with adults who have a learning disability, supervised by Professor Julie Mytton, Associate Professor Andy Gibson and Dr Sally Dowling.
I have worked on an interdisciplinary research project exploring infant-feeding decision making with women who have a learning disability. We worked in partnership with the Misfits theatre company in Bristol to co-produce a short film to make our research findings accessible.
I have experience of undertaking externally funded evaluations using qualitative methods. I have contributed to and/or led several evaluations in different areas of healthcare. I have also worked as part of an NHIR funded feasibility study (in partnership with the University of Manchester) exploring the use of Prism glasses with patients who have had a stroke.
