Associate Professor Mental Health Nursing and Wellbeing
Summary
As Associate Professor I provide strategic leadership for research and scholarly activity in mental health nursing and wellbeing. My support is for local, regional, national and international activity. I have a proven track record of research capacity building, course development and delivery, recruitment, external links, project work, consultancy, research and line management. I have a belief in harnessing talent, where my coaching and leadership skills are applied to groups and individuals I work with to achieve high quality nursing practice, research and knowledge transfer in this complex area of need.
About
A career in mental health and wellbeing spanning 40 years, as a nurse, manager, senior leader, clinical and senior academic leaves me well placed as an expert in the field. I am in the business of change, strategic leadership, expertness of clinical practice, and generating meaning in our work environments. I had an extensive career in the NHS prior to becoming an academic and have maintained fidelity over clinical work and developments always, either as a therapist, or as a clinical supervisor and researcher. I maintain strong links with leadership in practice through membership of the National Mental Health and Learning Disability Nurse Directors Forum.
As an Associate Professor in teaching, I have a range of strategic teaching targets. These range from the design and delivery of sessions, modules, and courses combined with research activity and supervision on the topics within my sphere of expertness. I am especially involved in developing continuing professional development modules and courses. Topics include psychosocial and psychological interventions, clinical supervision, research methods, creative approaches to mental health and wellbeing, sport and exercise for wellbeing. Our clinical skills work at SHU is an example of the integration of clinical skills and simulation into academic preparation of students by working closely with service colleagues to make our preparation for mental health nurses as appropriate and contextual as possible.
As a nurse, therapist, and academic I have extensive experience of strategic management of clinical activity and services and implementing evidence based practice. I have facilitated clinics and evaluations in the NHS for interventions, one example being using Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) as a model for CMHT and for two public health projects (an anger management clinic and an outreach clinic). I remain clinically active as a CAT Practitioner and supervisor, alongside having training and experience in other interpersonal therapies; Humanistic counselling; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Group Analysis; and Interactional Dynamic psychotherapy. I have been privileged to have been successful as a ‘University Inspirational Teacher’ and have several Faculty (College) nominations for inspirational teacher and supervisor. I always aim to be present and to develop and deliver high quality learning materials to support nursing practice.
I am a member of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), the Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) and a Senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I lead, or take an active role in, several expert mental health nurse forums. I chair and have strategic leadership of the Mental Health Nurse Academic UK (MHNAUK) group, am/have been expert representative on three NHS England/HEE development groups (All England Plan Student Sub Group, Post Registration Standards Group, All-England Plan for Mental Health Nursing), lead an RCN expert therapeutic interventions forum, am a member of the Florence Nightingale Foundation expert reference group on Clinical Supervision (CS), invited member RCN MHN Expert Group ‘Raising Profile of the Profession’ and previously a visiting professor at Suzhou University (China) and on the UK and Ireland Chapter Executive for the International Family Nurse Association. I sit on several research groups/consortiums: International Clinical Supervision Research Collaborative; Northern Mental Health Research Network; Northern Qualitative research Network.
I have fostered and supported research capacity building at SHU and have a strategic role in a local NHS Trust for research capacity building which is progressing. I have over 50 publications and reports to my name and regularly present keynote lectures, seminars and workshops and local, national and international conferences.
