About me
Senior Lecturer - BSc (Hons) Nursing
I completed my nurse education at Avon and Gloucestershire College of Health (1992-1995) and have been a Registered Nurse (Child) since then. My clinical background has predominitely focused on paediatric surgical specialitites, having worked in both short-stay and long-stay surgical units, cardiology and cardiac surgery (Bristol Royal Hospital for Children), burns and reconstructive surgery and neurology and neurosurgery (Frenchay Hospital, Bristol). I spent over 13 years in clinical practice, during which time I worked as both a staff nurse and a senior staff nurse. I was also a practice assessor and undertook responsibility for assessing nursing students in clinical placement for 12 years.
In 2008, I made the move into full time nurse education. In my current role as a senior lecturer in nursing, I teach and facilitate a range of theory and practice modules for foundation and undergradaute nursing students (pre-registration) and post-registration master's level students, and lead on modules in the undergraduate programme. I have particular interests in the history of nursing, especially children's nursing, and the use of fiction literature in nurse education to enhance compassion. Current roles include academic offence advisor in the School of Health and Social Wellbeing and admission lead for children's nursing at UWE Bristol, having previously undertaken the role of programme lead for children's nursing. Externally, I'm a member of the CYP Nurse Academic Network UK, the Association of British Paediatric Nurses, and the Collaboration for Compassion in Healthcare Education. I'm currently working towards a professional doctorate in education (EdD).
In 2024, I co-edited the textbook Essentials of Nursing Children and Young People, 2nd edition.
