Personal profile
Overview
I joined the University of the West of Scotland as a Lecturer on the MSc Advancing Practice and BSc (Adult) Nursing programmes in 2016. Key areas of focus include; advanced work-based learning, pre-registration clinical skills, mentorship preparation and role development.
Having worked in a variety of healthcare settings for several years, I have clinical experience in the full spectrum of emergency care. In addition, I have a keen interest in the continuing professional development of nurses. In my previous role as a NES Nursing and Midwifery Practice Educator, I was responsible for responding to key national and local healthcare priorities through the development and delivery of education at strategic and practice levels.
