Mrs Vicki Bowyer

I registered as an Adult Nurse in 2011 and gained experience in Interventional Cardiology, Interventional Radiology, and Clinical Site Management, prior to joining academia in 2021. My most recent clinical role, before joining academia, was as the Interim Head of Clinical Operations for an acute NHS Trust during Covid-19.

After an encouraging time as Placement Lead for the Foundation Degree Nursing Associate course, implementing learning opportunities with Experts by Experience across both years, I am joining the BSc Adult Nursing Course to become the Year 3 Lead for BSc Adult Nursing.

My previous experience setting up a brand new Cardiac Catheter Suite service and training junior nurses with no previous cardiac experience ignited my passion for nurse education. Since joining academia, I lecture across the BSc Adult Nursing, Foundation Degree Nursing Associate (FDNA), and Registered Nurse Degree Apprentice (RNDA) courses and am currently Acting Module Lead across the FDNA and RNDA courses.

I remain passionate about cardiac care and leadership in nursing.

I have undertaken a small-scale research project considering student engagement with feedback to improve final assignment submissions.
