Originally from Liverpool , i have worked at LJMU for 20 years . Prior to my transition to higher education, for 15 years I worked mainly within general medicine and Renal Care . I was a Specialist Renal nurse for the last 5 years of my clinical practice.
I teach and facilitate students across pre and post registration programs, from level 4 to level 7. I successfully run a level 5 pathophysiology module and level 6 pre-registration clinical module. I also have a level 6 Renal care module and a level 7 collaborative minor injuries module. I am also joint module leader for a Pharmacy level 7 clinical skills module.
I am interested in all things Renal and all clinical skills development. I am a first Aider for LJMU and ILS instructor which i enjoy very much.
Student and staff well being and learning has always been a priority. I am a personal tutor and staff coach , and at the moment a volunteer educator for the COVID 19 mass vaccination programme.
