I have an acute care background including Acute Medical and ED as well as expertise in Patient Safety and Human Factors and Applied Ergonomics. I remain on the live NMC register PIN: 99D1041E.
About
I am a dedicated and experienced clinical nurse and academic specialising in higher education, acute adult nursing, quality improvement, patient safety, and human factors, with a proven track record in applied clinical quality change management, academic and healthcare leadership, and dynamic clinical and academic educational roles.
With over 10 years of clinical experience, I have developed stringent validated safety interventions to improve patient outcomes and impact upon effective clinical practice incorporating clinical interventions, IT systems and environmental factors.
I have a distinguished history of leading clinical and academic teams to achieve ambitious goals and targets demonstrated by recordable data collection methodologies. I also have strong relationship building skills within multi-professional and interprofessional teams and stakeholders and excellent communication skills that enable focus and drive to inspire outcomes to be achieved.
I have experience in module and course leading and management, as well as external examination at several HEIs within the UK and overseas. I am a strong advocate for excellent student experiences alongside their studies and providing stimulating and inspiring teaching practices.
