Prior to becoming a lecturer in nursing in August 2004 my nursing experience mainly focused on the care of sick children on acute general wards, with a high dependency facility, within District General Hospitals.  In order to develop my skill of recognising and managing acute illness in children I sought experience in children's cardiac intensive care at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, where I trained as an intensive care nurse, prior to gaining promotion to ward manager on a children's acute general ward.

My main focus as a lecturer is with pre-registration nursing students.  I am a first year lead on the BSc (Hons) Nursing pre-registration programme.  I also teach on the post registration modules: ‘Preparation for mentorship’ and ‘Care of the Highly Dependent Child’.

I act as University Link Lecturer (ULL) to a children’s acute general unit in a District General Hospital.

Masters study gave me the opportunity to explore virtue ethics as a means of developing the moral character of student nurses.  

Current focus of study: An evaluation of pre registration nursing students’ adherence to standards and evidence based guidance for assessing, measuring and recording physiological observations in clinical practice.
