Biography

Associate Professor, Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, Bournemouth University.

I am an experienced nurse academic, manager and practitioner. As a practitioner I worked in medical nursing settings.

I was made a Principle Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2015 and have published and presented at international conferences on a range of nurse education and practice topics and have a range of mentoring experience. I am President of the all-England Chapter of STTI, the international nursing scholarship society.
