Biography
I am a Registered General Nurse and have extensive clinical and academic experience since graduation in a variety of surgical settings, worked as a Lecturer Practitioner, and most recently as a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences at Bournemouth University. My preceding role was leading Year 2 Practice for over 500 undergraduates during the pandemic.
My research interests and publications are focused on supporting and developing educational resources to enhance learning within healthcare settings. Examples include assessment in practice, supporting learners with specific learning differences, student experiences in placement and the NMC standards (2018), alternative placements, the experiences of practice supervisors and assessment in practice during COVID, practitioner inclusion in Team-Based Learning & the role of the personal tutor from a humanising perspective.
To complement my role, I am a Cardiac Research Nurse at University Hospitals Dorset (Poole based) for 3 days per week... This post involves research studies, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. For example, studies involving atrial fabulation, left ventricular failure, aortic stenosis, and stress ethos.
I am now seeking research opportunities to interlink practice, research, and education.
