Senior Lecturer Child Nursing
Summary
I joined the child field academic team as a lecturer in 2015 and am passionate about developing the future nursing workforce. My role involves facilitating students learning via lectures, seminars, workshops and clinical skills sessions across all levels of undergraduate children's nursing and interprofessional education. This includes a variety of post graduate students including via distance learning. I have a particular interest in paediatric and teenage and young adult (TYA) cancer, survivorship and transitional care.
About
Before joining Sheffield Hallam University as a substantive lecturer in 2017 I worked clinically as a Macmillan specialist nurse in paediatric and teenage and young adult (TYA) cancer survivorship. In total I have over 30 years clinical experience predominantly in paediatric oncology/ haematology nursing.
My research interests include transition in survivorship care, activity and sports participation in children & young people (CYP) following a cancer diagnosis and endocrinopathies associated with the treatment for childhood cancer. My PhD is focusing on the impact of family focused nursing on the care and transition of childhood brain tumour survivors.
I am the undergraduate assessment lead for the department of nursing & midwifery and currently undertaking the role of child field team leader for an interim period.
