Personal profile
Overview
I joined UWS in August 2009 as a Nurse Lecturer on the undergraduate Adult Nursing Programme. I presently teach into Years 1 and 2 and have previously been involved in curriculum development. I am interested in the admissions process and am actively involved in the admission of Adult Nursing students to Ayr Campus. I am the admissions articulation lead for the undergraduate nursing programme. In 2013 I became module coordinator for the Extended Practice Learning Experience (PLE) Module which facilitates transition from Further Education to year 2 of the undergraduate nursing programme. I work closely with College and Health Board partners to develop the Extended PLE module.
Prior to joining UWS I worked in for over 20 years in variety of clinical environments including coronary care; general medical; midwifery and latterly within the care home setting.
Current research activities
I am currently undertaking a Longitudinal Narrative Study of Adult and Mental Health Nurses’ Transition Journey from Further Education to Higher Education, Graduation and Employment for my PhD.
Desired research direction
My desired research direction is around the articulation agenda, particularly within the undergraduate nursing programme. I am interested in exploring the experience of articulating students longitudinally through university to professional employment. Research around transition from Further to Higher Education and the experience of wider access students is also an area of interest to myself. I am keen to be involved with Further Education and Health Board colleagues in collaborative research on articulating nursing students.
