Personal profile
Area of academic expertise - outline
I qualified as a registered nurse in 1998 with a Bachelor of Nursing degree. The majority of my clinical experience has been in critical care initially as a junior, then senior staff nurse, and laterally as a practice educator. I joined the University of the West of Scotland in 2009 as a Lecturer in Adult Nursing and I currently teach on all three years of the BSc Adult Nursing Programme.
I am also seconded to facilitate the My Home Life Scotland programme and am involved research activities in order to develop and evaluate the impact of this programme.
I have experience with different research approaches including mixed methods (MSc dissertation). My recent research experience and interests have been with participatory approaches and particularly Appreciative Inquiry.
Current research activities
I am in my 2nd year of my PhD (part time). My research aims to explore and develop learning opportunities in care homes using appreciative action research.
Desired research direction
Progress PhD study - aiming to complete in 2020 and publish at least two articles during course of study.
Develop and enhance skills related to appreciative action research.
