About me
I am a Macmillan Senior Lecturer and BNSSG ICB Launching Fellow in the School of Health and Social Wellbeing. As a cancer nurse of over 20 years, I have been dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by cancer through research, education, clinical practice and workforce development.
My research interests include:
- How best to support people to live well after cancer, particularly those living with chronic pain
- The creation and evaluation of impactful cancer education to improve clinical practice and enable workforce development
I completed a PhD in January 2024 into the experiences of people living with chronic pain after cancer and am currently taking the proposed clinical recommendations forward during a BNSSG ICB Launching Fellowship (commencing March 2024).
I am on the Steering Committee for the Aspirant Cancer Career and Education Development Programme (ACCEND) and co-chair the pre-registration workstream. In 2023, I led the development of the Foundations of Cancer Care a freely available cancer care e-learning programme hosted on the NHS Learning Hub.
