About me
I am a senior lecturer, working in the School of Health & Social Wellbeing at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. I have a background in learning disability nursing. I have taught across all aspects of the pre-registration nursing curriculum, including co-module leading the anatomy, physiology and pharmacology for nursing module, dissertation/Final Project modules, a public health module and practice modules specifically for learning disability nursing. I teach research methods to undergraduate and postgraduate nursing and allied health professionals, in addition to supervising degree and master’s students.
I am an early career researcher, having recently completed doctoral research. I used accessible research methods to explore how adults with learning disabilities are and want to be supported to make health decisions in line with Principle 2 of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. 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 individuals lived experiences.
I am starting a Research Launching Fellowship with Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Integrated Care Board, focusing on the health of women with learning disabilities.
