Personal Statement
I have worked at the University Liverpool since 2020 being the lead for the MSc Nursing programme and module lead for the dissertation modules on both the MSc Nursing programme and the UG BA (HONS) Nursing programme. I have worked within other North West Higher Education Institutions in a variety of roles previously and I have a wealth of educational experience, focusing on curriculum design and delivery, and student experience. My clinical experience is in community nursing. Whilst at the University of Liverpool and at other HEIs I have developed a large amount of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes of study.
I successfully completed my PhD at Liverpool John Moores University in 2009 and my research interests include carer experience, student experience, learning disability and falls.
