I undertook my training to become a registered nurse at The Middlesex Hospital, London and qualified in 1989. I worked on an acute surgical ward and then the Accident and Emergency Department before settling in primary care as a Practice Nurse. I completed the RCN Nurse Practitioner Diploma in 1994 and then subsequently worked as a Nurse Practitioner in a number of General Practice settings including PMS pilot set-up sites.
In 1996 I combined my clinical role with education and started working as a lecturer/practitioner. I have worked at a number of Universities including The University of Liverpool, London South Bank University and Canterbury Christ Church University. I am currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Nursing and Applied Clinical Studies teaching on the MSc Advanced Practice programme, Consultation and Clinical Examination module and third year modules on the nursing pre-registration programme.
My qualifications include: Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner Diploma, BSc (Hons) Health Studies, Certificate in Education, MSc in Clinical Nursing, Nurse Prescribing (Extended).
