I am a Registered Nurse and qualified as a Registered Midwife, having been a Sister in Intensive Care and Heart Care and Senior Ward Sister in the NHS, I joined Nurse Education in 1981 and the University of Salford 1996 with the transition of Schools of Nursing and Midwifery to Higher Education. I have completed 2 teaching qualifications: Registered Clinical Nurse Teacher and Registered Nurse Tutor (Cert Ed) having taken these has full time programmes.

I was pleased to have been seconded to the former Business Unit at the university in 2009 where we developed work-based learning for use both internal and external to the University of Salford, from single modules to a post graduate award. I am the joint module lead for WBL and this work has continued to develop and is being implemented on several programmes in the university and taken up by various sectors of the community and NHS and is part of the promotion for widening participation.
