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, 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 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. I am a strong advocate for excellent student experiences alongside their studies and providing stimulating and inspiring teaching practices.
