About

I joined the nursing profession in 1990. Since then, I have held various senior roles in the field of critical care within the South and West Yorkshire regions.

Initially working in a general Intensive care and coronary care units in West Yorkshire I made the move to Rotherham to set up the Critical Care Outreach Service. After developing the role of Critical Care Outreach within the Trust, I began to focus on interprofessional education in the NHS. I have a passion for widening participation to Higher Education and Nursing. I have extensive experience of working with students from diverse backgrounds in further education and currently support foundation degree pathways collaboratively working with partner colleges in the region. Within Higher Education I teach into Level 4, 5, 6 in the BSc Nursing courses and Level 7 in the MSc Nursing courses. Within this time I have gained an MSc in Healthcare Education.
