I am a Senior Lecturer in the Division of Mental Health, Midwifery and Health with a focus on Mental Health Nursing. I am chair of the Division School Assessment Board and School Board of Examiners and lead for Teaching, Learning and Student Experience for the Division. I provide teaching input to BSc Hons Mental Health Nursing and associated programmes. I sit on a number of external groups that influence pre-registration nurse education, inlcuding the Scottish Learning Disability Nursing Educators Network, Scottish Mental Health Nurse Academics.
I have recently completed a Doctor of Education at Strathclyde university and am interested in how we select suitable applicants to nursing education. My study used a case study approach within a CHAT framework to explore decision making in selection practice.
